Tuesday, December 17

We began our day with utilizing our technology for Technology Tuesday. Students love this day more than any day of the week! After that, we continued our work with the Northwest Territory by reading and completing an Ohio Studies Weekly. This magazine has really been helpful in teaching not only about Ohio but so many reading skills and strategies for informational text. After gym, we visited the holiday shoppe with our first grade buddies. With about 30 minutes left, we worked on our Fraction Story Games. We have one more day to work on these before we play them. After another indoor recess, we read City of Ember and learned how much Lina enjoys color and drawing as she spent $5 for one colored pencil! However, according to her, Ember is black and gray and dull and these pencils are so bright and vibrant! In Reader's Workshop, we worked in small groups with "Ovatniah," a fiction story in StoryWorks while others' read silently, played spelling games and continued working on their OSW from earlier. Finally, we ended our day revising and editing our persuasive letters.
