Today was Ms. Stern’s birthday. Even though she only asked for a class full of good listeners, lots of people brought her gifts that they made. Jackie gave her a Judy Blume book. Erin made a fortune teller. Julia made a card with her friends and she also cut flowers from her garden. They smelled delightful! Madison S. brought in a cookie cake that we shared during snack time. Madison S. also picked Ms. Stern to sit on the throne with her during story time. Conor finally came back after being sick for 2 days.
We continued to work on our special projects that we’re going to keep a secret for a little while. All we can tell you is that the project involves a lot of effort, love, and important details…
During Reader’s Workshop today, everyone read books from their non-fiction bins. We had to record 3 facts that we learned, putting the ideas in our own words. Then, we had to find 3 features in the book. Some examples of features are: glossary, index, table of contents, heading, bold print, photographs, captions, zoom ins, and diagrams. We’re going to become experts on our topics!
In art, we finished another surprise project. Our lips are sealed!
Ms. Stern read Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. In the story, food falls from the sky instead of normal weather. Good and bad things happened but eventually the people of Chewandswallow had to leave. After we finished reading, we wrote about whether or not we’d want to live in Chewandswallow. Some people thought it would be a good idea and others preferred not to.
