The students have been learning to use the text to find evidence.  They are getting really good at it.  Today in guided reading group, I saw Logan, Abby and McKenna all searching their books for specific words, information or plot points!  Great detective work!!   ...

I have had several parents tell me how awesome Sharing Day is, but I have to tell you, it's the audience that is so awesome!  I know how busy people are and how difficult it can be to get time off of work, and yet our room is full of supportive parents, grandparents and friend each Sharing Day!  Thank you all for being such a great audience!  You give the students a chance to practice talking in front of people, as well as an opportunity...

I recently heard an interview on the radio with Pharrell Williams, writer and performer of the song, "Happy" from the movie, "Despicable Me 2".  In talking about the writing process, Mr. Williams said he made five revisions of the song before he was really happy with it.  Unfortunately, the movie producers still weren't.  It wasn't until the TENTH revision that everyone believed they had the perfect song for the movie.  They...

We finished reading Charlotte's Web by E.B. White today and so we celebrated the incredible friendship of a very special spider and a terrific, radiant, humble pig, Wilbur.   To celebrate, we had a special treat of pigs and spiders (well, not real pigs and spiders..) and we watched the movie!  We also wrote about friendship and what we learned from Charlotte and Wilbur.   It was great to celebrate...

The PTO so generously gives every student at the EE a book each year (sometimes twice a year!) and we were thrilled to go down today and pick out a book of our very own.  We checked the books to make sure we would love them and to make sure they were not too difficult for us to read.  There were so many great books, it was hard to choose just one! We looked at picture books, chapter books, mysteries, funny books...  ...until...

We realized today we had a bit of a gap in our learning!  We needed to know our doubles facts before we could move on this year and learn how to use double facts to help us with doubles +1 or doubles -1!  We decided we'd better spend some time today practicing these facts so we'd be better prepared to add to that knowledge in our next math chapter! We used egg cartons to randomly select a number, and then we practiced doubling it!  We...
