Today, we learned about some new things.\u00a0 One of those new things was the idea of “Stop…and think!”\u00a0 We talked about this during Reader’s Workshop so that we can begin to really think about what we are reading about when we are reading books.\u00a0 The children during their independent reading time, I noticed, were stopping and thinking.\u00a0 By stopping and thinking about what we are reading, that will help us with our comprehension and summarizing.<\/p>\n

We also learned our new spelling words which are “can”, “for”, “go”, “here”, “see”.\u00a0\u00a0 I put them on the homework list too so you can see them there as well.\u00a0 It is so fun to see the children spotting these words around them!<\/p>\n

Another thing that we talked about today was self-portrait collages.\u00a0 These are collages that are made with beautiful “stuff” around us.\u00a0 They can be beads, twigs, leaves, berries, nails, magazine cut outs, etc.\u00a0 We started to make our own self-portrait collages today.\u00a0 Geneva, Madeline P., and Emily were the ones that wanted to do them today, and I was so proud of their work!\u00a0 I am excited to see what the children make throughout the week.<\/p>\n
