Happy Monday families. We had a lot of fun talking about all of the things we did this weekend. I enjoyed hearing that some children were out playing in the snow.
During Daily 5 this morning, I worked with a group of grade 2's. I have started to introduce the Literature Circle jobs to them. Today we learned about being a reporter. This group is going to make a "newspaper" that tells about the events in their book called Brad's Brilliant Ideas.
During writer's workshop, we learned about adding sound words to our stories. We learned a great big new word today called onomatopoeia. Question of the day: What does onomatopoeia mean? Please give an example and post your answers on the blog.
We had music this morning and we are learning to square dance.
After lunch we did calendar activities and then learned a new doubles math game.
At the end of the day we worked on our clay log houses and finished a page in our visual journals comparing the past to the present.
Just a reminder there is no school on Wednesday.
