In Guidance, Mrs. Vidic talked with the students about fears and how to address fears. It was a very nice discussion. Sometimes it is good to recognize and not be ashamed of our fears because the more we talk about them, the more we realize that we all have fears and can help each other through them. After Art, we went to the computer lab and worked on multiple digit subtraction using a "Gizmo" on explorelearning.com. I signed us up for a free 30-day trial. I'm trying to find resources that fit within the 21st century learning model and our new common core state standards--it's difficult but I'm trying! (If you ever happen upon something that you think could be helpful, please pass it along! Free is best... ) After indoor recess, we read Wonder. Unfortunately, Daisy did not make it. It was so sad! For Reader's Workshop today, we read How I Became a Pirate by Melinda Long and David Shannon. Then, we made illustrations of what we would look like as pirates--including our pirate name (I'm Princess Landlubber). After that, we used our colorful illustrations to spark a story about our pirate selves. In Writer's Workshop, we continued our work with our Book Reviews. I'm going to mail them in to Scholastic over the weekend so they need to be finished tomorrow. Finally, we proved that we understand this week's spelling generalization by finding words around the room that fit the short vowel pattern.
