Reading Teams!

Students read a historical fiction book independently, then got into groups to discuss the book. They identified the technology that was introduced in the book, the problem, the solution, and had a writing response to their book. Finally, groups shared a book summary and their charts with the class.

Recess!

Last week our class had excellent reports from two different substitutes! They earned extra recess for their spectacular behavior! Luckily, the weather cooperated and we enjoyed warm, sunny weather!

Celebrating Our Friendships on Valentines Day!

In honor of Valentines Day, we took some time to tell each classmate why we appreciate them. We thought about what makes each person a good friend, why we enjoy spending time with each other, and good character traits that we each possess. We taped construction paper to everyone's back and then started writing!

Our friends who were absent today will get to read all of the things we like about them when they return next week!

After we finished writing all of the things we like about our classmates, it was time to read what everyone likes about us! We LOVED this activity! It was a nice reminder that we are all important and we are cared for by our classmates!

Awesome job, Yoselin!

Yoselin recorded her 20th book report today! She is leading the class and on her way to catch the record set last year by Walker! You can do it, Yoselin!
