Preschool & AK listened to a story called Bunnies on Ice by Johanna Wright. It is a cute story about a bunny who loves to ice skate. The favorite part by all the classes was when she twirls and wraps herself up in her scarf!
Our kindergarten, first, and third grade students read two more books in our Mock Caldecott book study: Toys Meet Snow by Emily Jenkins & Paul O. Zelinsky & Waiting by Kevin Henkes. It was fun to compare these books that are both about toys. Kindergarten & first graders used the Seesaw app on the iPads to tell what might happen if their toys came to life while they were gone, or if they went in the snow.
Here are a few examples of what they came up with:
The 3rd graders posted about what they thought their toys would do if they were home alone.
Our 4th graders spent one final class period working on their states projects--they are excited to show them off in 2 weeks!
And our 2nd graders started a new, super fun project. We are doing a fairy tale meets robots sort of project. Students are working with a partner and creating a story map based on a fairy tale that they read this week. After reading, they are working on filling out a story elements chart to help organize their thoughts. Then, they'll draw out on big butcher paper the events of the story, creating a sort of map. And finally, they'll program one of our new robots to drive through the events of the story in order. It really is much cooler than it sounds. Next week, I'll have some good pictures of student work. This week, just a few pictures of them reading & working together on their story elements chart!
