Guess who is coming to our room????

We have been learning to infer or predict.  When we infer, we use word or picture clues and our schema to figure out something the author does not tell us.  Today we read clues and tried to infer who was going to be visiting our classroom this week. Here are the clues we read:

 This photo gives you a clue in case you could not infer who are guests will be...

We read the first half of the clues and made a prediction. Then we read the rest of the clues.  You can see by our work, that many of us changed our inferences when we had more information.

St . Patrick's Day

On Friday we had fun getting ready for St. Patrick's Day.  This is the first of 2 videos that I will post to share all about our fun!
Tomorrow is the BIG day. We left our traps set up over the weekend and we'll get to see if we caught anything!

Backwards Day!

Thursday was a crazy day!  Everything was backwards!!  We earned this special treat for bringing in canned goods earlier in the year.

We began the craziness by wearing pajamas to school.  What could be more backward that that?

 

Well, maybe starting our day with our goodbye song, or math and special class in the morning, or even the Harlem Shake?? That's right...Our buddies invited us to read as usual on Thursday but they wanted to shake things up a little.  So we joined them in the Harlem Shake!
Enjoy these videos!

Dr. Seuss' Birthday

We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday a little early this year.  His actual birthday fell on Saturday, but we could not let this important day pass by without a little celebration and fun.  We spent the day on Friday reading some of his books and doing activities to honor and remember this great author and illustrator.  I hope you enjoy this quick view of our day.
