50th Day of School!

We are 50 days smarter!

Room on the Broom

We loved the story...

 

 

 

We sorted nouns in the story. 

Then we came up with our own nouns. 

 

 

We ordered the characters in the story and used the interactive writing process to write the names of the characters. 

 

 

 

We loved acting out the story. 

 

  It made it a lot easier to retell the story to a friend. 

 

 

 

We also used the characters in the story to help us in math.  Four and two make six!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go Away Big Green Monster

 

 

We had fun learning about describing words through the story Go Away, Big Green Monster!   We read the story without showing the children the pictures.  The children had to draw what the author was describing.  We talked about how the illustrator and the author have to work together. 

 

 

Students shared how their monsters were alike and different.  

 

 

 

Children made their own shape monsters and wrote sentences describing their monster. 

 

 

We have been learning about our color words. 

 We sorted m&ms by color and graphed our results. 

Where the Wild Things Are

We read Where the Wild Things Are . 

 

 

 

We made text to self connections. 

 

 

We read the story again, and this time the students made a mind map of the events to help them retell the story.
