Today's Activities
Writer's Workshop
The children were asked to listen to the story, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff", and to find their favorite part to write about. They were asked to write, "My favorite part was when....". This work is part of our introduction to writing your opinion.
Science
The children were charged with 2 motion challenges. One was to start a ball moving in a straight direction to try and hit a bottle. They were encouraged to use things in the classroom to help them achieve this goal (blocks, cardboard, etc.) and to work as a team. The 2nd challenge was to start a car moving from a starting line across a finish line and to see what you could do to make it go faster (i.e. ramps). The children recorded their results in their science notebooks.
Reader's Workshop
We practiced looking at word patterns in our just right books and talked about how using the pattern, the picture on the page and the first sound in the new words can help you solve a tricky word!
Literacy Centers
