Kindergarteners listened to the story of Stanza, a dog who loves to write poetry. Then we used the Promethean board to vote on which of Jill's books has been our favorite so far. Students moved their name to show their vote. We'll do the same thing next week, then print out the results & hang it up for Jill to see.
First graders read I Am Cow, Hear Me Moo!. It is a funny story about a brave, fearless cow...fearless, so she says, anyway. After reading, students wrote about what it means to be brave. I love talking about bravery and hearing what kids have to say about what it means to be brave.
I just love reading these and seeing what kids define as bravery. One of them, not pictured, said that bravery is hugging a zombie. Hopefully none of us ever run into that type of bravery!
Second graders read Elwood Bigfoot: Wanted Birdie Friends. Our amazing art teacher, Mr. Plagman, created us an Elwood to put on the wall, and some student helpers made a tree. Then the 2nd graders made little birdies to sit on the branches. Hopefully Ms. Esbaum loves the display!
Third graders kept taking notes on their famous African American. Hopefully now they are ready to start creating a slideshow during computer lab. This week we will be talking about Jill Esbaum and reading one of her books and exploring her website.
Fourth graders also kept working on their current book trailer project. We installed WeVideo and started inserting images in the correct order. Next week we'll talk about Ms. Esbaum, and after that we'll be ready to record their voiceover on the trailers & be ready to finish them up!
