Guess who came to visit us from 1776?

Readers workshop: looking at text structures
Planning and organizing our writing thoughts.
One of Mrs Randall's previous students did a job shadow and spent the day with us. She shared their class blog and we saw us as kindergarteners!

Writers at work! We reflected on one of our literary essays and chose a paragraph that we were most proud of. If you want to read our entire piece, check out the QR Code!
Reading non-fiction actively!
Compare, connect, and contrast texts!
Prioritizing while reading-keeping clear and purposeful notes.
Playing Decimal Compare
We investigated our artifacts and watched a National Geographic video about how researchers use the same process to tell a story about the objects they find.
We created skits to present a story about our team's objects from history.
Happy Easter!
