We have been learning about nouns. Nouns are people, places, and things. Yesterday, we looked through magazines to find nouns and we made 3 collages, showing different types of people, places, and things. Today, we had to work by ourselves to find nouns with short vowel sounds. We cut out the pictures, glued them in our packets according to the short vowel, and finally we wrote the word underneath the picture. It was easy finding nouns but writing the word was a little more challenging.
After independent reading and partnerships, we watched the videos of children discussing their books again. Ms. Stern and the students were looking to see if children were thinking about what we discussed last time. We some improvements: lower level of noise, some children gave more feedback, and had both partners talking. We were proud of our growth!
We had P.E. for our specials today. We played “Keep the Balloons Up in the Air” by ourselves and then also with a partner. Then, Coach Hudson had us try it while doing ballet.
After lunch, Ms. Stern read another Patricia Polacco book to us called, Thank You, Mr. Falker. The book is story written about Patricia when she was little. She thought she was dumb. Her teacher helped her to discover that she wasn’t dumb, she just learned in a different way. Reading her stories gives us ideas to write about and also teaches us that good writers tell stories about themselves and write from their memories and their hearts.
It’s time to go home…and it’s snowing!
