She read two books about space-one was fiction and one was non-fiction.  Then they compared the two books.  Niall explained that one book was non-fiction because cats cannot go into space, and the other book was fiction because it gave us information.  Isaac then interjected saying that the space book with a cat in it was non-fiction because it gave us information about space just like the other one.  There was no resolution to the discussion, but it was a great example of children being able to state their opinion and know that there might be some agreeing and some disagreeing, but that there are valid points to all. <\/p>\n<p>We did our second writing prompt today.  We asked the children to write about a time they taught someone something.  We only did it with half of the friends, but I was really impressed with how the children worked.  There was a lot more writing and depth to these prompts compared to the first one.  I look forward to seeing how they continue to progress throughout the year!<\/p>\n<p>Miss Jeffrey led a great discussion about how to make friends feel better if you know they are upset or lonely, and there were some great ideas like make a picture, visit Maggie&#8217;s Joke Box, play with them, help them.  We ended the day with the Friendship Meeting again, and so many friends were celebrated for their interactions with each other.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/school60\/files\/2012\/12\/20121213-174416.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/school60\/files\/2012\/12\/20121213-174416.jpg\" alt=\"20121213-174416.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/school60\/files\/2012\/12\/20121213-174422.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/school60\/files\/2012\/12\/20121213-174422.jpg\" alt=\"20121213-174422.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/school60\/files\/2012\/12\/20121213-174427.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/school60\/files\/2012\/12\/20121213-174427.jpg\" alt=\"20121213-174427.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was so interesting today watching Miss Jeffrey lead Reader&#8217;s Workshop today because there was such a great discussion on whether or not this certain book Miss Jeffrey read was non-fiction or fiction.
