November 12th - 14th

This three day week just flew by!

This week we continued to talk about filling others buckets by saying and doing nice things.  We wrote messages to each other and faces lit up when the messages were read.  We have our own buckets so people can continue to write messages to us!


We have been working on inferring by looking at pictures.  We discuss observations and then infer what is happening based on our observations.  Inferring is an important strategy that all readers use. 

The new novel that we are reading is called My Father's Dragon.  Words to describe this book so far include funny, cool, neat, awesome and entertaining!


We started talking about Genius Hour this week.  This is a time in our class that students can learn about a certain subject that they are interested in.  You will hear more about Genius Hour soon! Many interesting topics have been discussed in our classroom.  We have been working in I WONDER books and some interesting wonders have come up!
