The kids have been making awesome connections between our lessons in writing and our lessons in reading! In writing we have been working on writing true stories this week. We went through the process: First, we thought about something that happened to us or something we have done. Then, we practiced telling our stories to each other in a STORYTELLER voice, Next we used pictures and words to tell who, what, and where, Last we added and will continue to add details to our work. We learned that "Once you're done, you've just begun!" There are so many ways to add to your work! Adding to the pictures, adding to the words, adding labels, and adding speech bubbles.
The students have already been transferring their skills of reading their writing in a storyteller voice to reading all books in a similar way. We will continue on working on speech bubbles (and dialogue) next week in writing and reading like a teacher and talking like the characters in reading! We will be doing some fun lessons with puppets to teach this! Speaking of puppets, we did a fun game to practice our counting fluency, skip counting, and decade numbers in math using a ladybug puppet instead of a ball! I haven't blogged about math in a bit. I'll make sure to do that next week! I have pictures to upload but they aren't sending from my phone to my email so I can't upload them yet! :( Once they are sent I will put them up here!
