Wednesday, March 24, 2010

This morning we learned a little bit about the country of Greece by sharing Flat Dylan’s journal. She went to visit her aunt. We learned about the Parthenon, a statue of Zeus, Mykonos, the Parliament, and the Olympic Games. After looking on Google Earth and sharing her journal, everyone wrote about Dylan’s trip.

Ms. Stern read with Victoria and Anthony D. during Reader’s Workshop. Everyone was working on asking questions before, during, and after reading. The Wednesday shoppers also got to shop for new books during the first five minutes.

We got to play games during math today. After we reviewed addition ideas, Ms. Stern explained the activities and choices that we had. Our choices were to play pig with 1 or 2 partners, Calculate and Color alone, Candy Count with a partner, or Adding With Doubles by ourselves. Everyone had fun reviewing addition strategies by choosing an activity that they preferred.

During Writer’s Workshop we thought about how we could add thoughts, words, and actions to our stories to make them more interesting to the reader. At the end, Stephen, Sasha, and Lauria shared their stories with the class and explained what they added today.
