St. Patrick's Day, Easter & More

Here are a few of the things we have been busy doing and learning.

After learning a bit about St. Patrick's Day we went on a shamrock hunt in our front lawn.  Lots of green found but no 4 leaf clovers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I did a wee bit of face painting on my students' cheeks.

Mrs. Bookman played a jig and we danced in class.

Writing a Paragraph and Digital Tools

 

Get your QR Code readers ready to listen to each student read their paragraphs.  After studying text features the students turned a topic "triple whammy sentence" into a paragraph.  Students added text features to their writing and made a funny video of themselves reading their paragraph. 

The apps we used were Chatter Pix and Pic Collage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hat Day with This and That

 

 One of my reading groups is reading "Bad Kitty vs. Uncle Murray."  We discovered that the author had included informational text along with the literary text.  The group found the details from the informational text and created a list.  They made a movie to teach the other students what they learned about "Why are Cats Afraid of People?"

 They all did such a good job!
