It's Friday Already!? Math Meeting, Humor in Reading, Organizing Writing, and PAWS! :-)

Hi All,

    What a Friday!  The students worked so hard today!  Check out our math meeting... Samantha was our math leader for the day!!

All the students are engaged and eyes are on the Promethean Board!


In reading, our objective was good readers notice how illustrations use details in illustrations to convey humor... Check out these hard working cookies making their own readers response entries!
Camilo said "this picture shows humor because the cows were scared of the lightening"

Celeste said, "this picture shows humor because the little boy was scared of the gorilla costume because it had yellow teeth"

Malaki said "this picture shows humor because the girl was picking melons and inside the melon there was a slug"

Nakiyah said, "this picture has humor because the dog was jumping in a pile of newspapers."



In writing, our objective was "Good writers plan before drafting a story"  We talked about the importance of making sure our writing is in order and also carefully planned using beginning, middle, end... and also adding details!!! Check out these writers!!!
Bennett is using his organizer to write about a snowy day...

Finn is using his organizer to write about camping...

Jaiden is using his organizer to write about a Soccer Game...

Jonathan is using his organizer to write about a school day...

Kayla is using her organizer to write about a dog...

Ryan is using her organizer to write about Lake Quassy...





And, last but not least, the students worked in groups and came up with ways to be respectful, responsible, safe and work hard.  As these are our school rules... We talked about the importance of making sure we are all following the rules... I wanted to make it fun and have the students work in groups and come up with their own ideas as to what the rules mean to them... The students had their own roles in the group and used their "inside voices" during the process.  Take a look at their hard work and final project!  Talk about a Friday "Fun day"!!! 

This group worked on ways to "Being Respectful"


This group came up with ways to "Be Responsible"

So so so proud of them!! Everyday they continue to amaze me!  They worked so hard in their groups and took turns!!!  We have really come together as a class and talking about how these rules are so important!!

Have a great weekend... Until Monday!!

Best,
Miss Ignatiadis
