What a fun day of learning we had today. We didn't get to talk as a class about it at the end of school, so here it is from Mrs. Biles' point of view:
First thing: First thing this morning we had an assembly. It was a production of skits by the "Imagination Makers." It was very enthralling for all of the kids.
Reading: We have been working hard on reading just right books and using our comprehension strategies to understand them. The four comprehension strategies we have covered so far this year are: visualizing, making connections, questioning, and clarifying. We are also learning about the main idea of stories, and are working on writing the main idea for all of the stories that we read.
Writing: As we continue our work on memoirs, we are utilizing our proofreading skills to make our writing better. We had a very successful day talking about how we peer conference and help each other to become writers.
Social Studies: We finished our mini unit on the Statue of Liberty today by creating crowns. We learned that the Statue of Liberty has seven points on her crown that stand for the seven continents and the seven oceans.
We also did a quick recap of mapping and elections by talking about the electoral college vote. We didn't have enough time to share bedroom maps, but we hope to get to them soon.
Keep up the fantastic learning!
