Wednesday, April 30

Our day began in the Computer Lab working on a Webquest on Fossils. Students take on a role-archaeologist, geologist, paleontologist or reporter-and do their part to find information about fossils. After Art, we visited Mrs. Dornburgh's class to listen to their research presentation on animals. Our kiddos did a good job listening and asking questions and they did an amazing job on their research and presentation! For Math, we finished our practice around the room and then went over our answers. How did your child do? Unfortunately, we aren't ducks so we had recess inside today. Then, we listened to Bud, Not Buddy. After listening, we wrote some characteristics about Herman E. Calloway and Bud--how they've changed throughout the story. In Reader's Workshop, we got caught up on some of the work we have been working on this week, read silently (ish) and broadened our vocabulary. Then, we continued our work with writing an invitation poem, from yesterday, or worked with parts of speech in Mad Libs.
