October 3, 2012

Good Morning,
  We started our day with some dancing and songs in the gym.  Wrenn Compere led us in the activities, and it proved to be a great start up activity.  Yesterday, we reread a book called Grandpa Never Lies.  We read the book last week, and looked at the author's use of repetitive lines.  This time we looked at the way the author used his words to travel through time. The students have know learned about 4 different styles of author's craft that they can use to write stories (letter books, number books, all about books, and through time books). 

  In science, we continue to investigate magnets and today we will conduct a magnet investigation this afternoon.  I feel the students are enjoying the hands on approach to this unit, and have seen a lot of great writing in their science notebooks.


1ST GRADE MATH GAME SURVEY IS DUE ON FRIDAY!

Peace,
Tom
