Rocking with Pete the Cat and Mrs. Lutz! Reviewing the classroom and school rules when it comes to listening to others. Answering questions- what parts of our body do we use? How do we listen? Why do we listen?

Non-fiction close reading

9/11/2014

0 Comments

 

During Readers' workshop students have been learning that good readers ask questions as they read. We learned that this strategy helps readers interact with the text and process new information—so they understand what they are reading. As a class, we continued our close reading using a non-fiction text about the planets in the solar system! Students engaged in partner talk asking questions within the text they read. Questions consisted of the following: What was the text mostly about? What are the colder planets? Which are the warmer planets? What planets have rings? What planents have satellites (moons)? What's the scientific word for shooting star? What does the Latin word sol mean?

After we shared out and answered our peers- we took our 60 seconds of Literacy Challenge! We visited the NASA Image of the Day page. As a class, students described what they saw and created a sentence to go with the image.

Today we had music enrichment with Mrs. Bills! We practiced our active listening skills, as well as visualizing a fawn in a field. After we shared out our visions to the class, we captured our moments in a piece of writing! It was exciting!

Writers' Workshop

This week we have been sharing out our pictures from what we did over summer break. Many of us then began to write stories about these moments. Miss Gleason taught us how to bring our writing to life by incorporating many of the tools we learned in Kindergarten. We have been making sure our pieces have a setting, action, dialogue, and thoughts/feelings. You will get to see them soon!
