Our Day Today
Writer's Workshop
We began our day by creating our goals for 2014. They came up with great goals that included: reading more and better, writing, listening, and exercising! We wrote our goals onto balloons and will be turning these into a really cute and fun project!
This week we will be working with an author theme by enjoying the great work of Jan Brett. We learned a bit about the author today and even watched a really neat video of how she illustrates her books! We read The Mitten and worked together with a partner to create the sequence of the story by adding animals to a mitten.
In order to get back into the groove of things, we decided it would be good to review what Pinkerton Pride really stands for. We also have a new IB Unit coming up that involves a lot of cooperative learning in our table groups. This was a really good way to get to know each other at our new tables.
