What We Did Today
We read the book, Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon today to learn how to include others and make friends in our new classroom.
We started learning about the writing process. Today we talked about how authors come up with their ideas when writing a story. There were so many good answers like brainstorming, thinking for an hour and thirty minutes, writing everything down, so many! We talked about how a lot of writers start writing a story by thinking about personal experiences and then drawing/labeling a picture. I modeled how to do this by drawing my own picture and labeling it. (I drew a picture about Storm Chasing, which is a hobby that my husband and I have. Don't worry, we are trained for it) We all practiced this by drawing and labeling our own pictures.
We added the "I" in PRIDE today! We talked about how to include others in the classroom and compared what it looks like with what it does not look like to include others at school.
We completed out Essential Agreements today and we all signed the contract to make our promise to each other to have a good school year!
