Friday Learning!

We started off our day on IMAGINE LEARNING! This is a create program where the children work on reading skills. 
Today I met with two more small groups to work with the children on creating their non-fiction books.
I am always so amazed at how many of my friends can follow multi-step instructions with ease.
Today we revisited another  non-fiction text feature,BOLD PRINT and we discussed how it helps readers to understand what is happening in the book.

The children are sharing bold words that they found!

We read a fabulous story today call Wilfred Gordon MacDonald Partridge and discussed memories that we have and what it would be like if we couldn't remember special times in our lives. 

A letter about our unit went home today.  Your child's item or picture of their item is due on the 20th. 

In math we compared objects. We read ACTUAL SIZE by Steven Jenkins

Ask your child about this book,
