Q: What kind of chese doesn’t belong to you?
A: Nacho cheese.

Another great day in Room 240 – here’s the lowdown:

After Independent Literacy Time and Morning Meeting, we had Reader’s Workshop.   We spent our time today reading – doing independent reading and buddy reading, and then writing about our books in our Response Journals.  The end-of-workshop share today was to have everyone read the reader response that they wrote today.  They are coming up with some very interesting insights about their books!

After that, we headed right into Writer’s Workshop.  Today we worked on making on making our writing readable, both in terms of clear handwriting and spaces between words, and also in terms of making the information clear for the reader.  The kids all had some quality writing time too!

Then it was time for lunch and recess, and then back up to our room for Read Aloud.  The book today was Can-Do Pigs, by David McPhail.  After the book, we headed upstairs to the art room for class with Mr. Fairbanks.

When we got back down to our room, we had Math Workshop.  Today we worked on a couple of assessments that are a part of the end-of-quarter program in first grade, and then we worked on the math/science combo that we started yesterday.

After math, we had Science Lab – the kids learned the whole oceans song – ask them to sing it for you – and I told them to quiz you all on the four oceans (Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic).

After all of that, like usual, it was time to pack up and head home!
