Reading History!
Writers workshop: literary essay. Check out our pieces on the bulletin board in the hallway!
Guess who came to visit us from 1776?
We played games that kids in those time periods played.
Keeping track of our thinking when we dig into history.
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!
Being archeologists! We explored many artifacts from the time period we are learning about. We brainstormed what they might be used for. Some of the artifacts are from the Fleming museum.
Four Winds- deer
A number talk focusing on multiplying fractions. We used many strategies, including doubling and halving.
Writing deeper-
Using many different types of text to build background knowledge on our subtopics.
After, we gathered together to share our new learning and built a timeline.
Focus statements on analyzing literature that we've read.
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!
Easton and Anna V
