Our Kick-off of Everybody Has a Story

Grab your gear, we are going on an expedition!
And the story begins....
Today we kicked off our learning expedition titled "Everybody Has a Story"!  Jonny, Kamryn's dad, came and told us a great story of Peter Pan.  The kids were mesmerized...

 

In our second case study, we will become familiar with the story elements through cheers, song, acting out and through independent, partner and small group practice. 

 In reading, we are working hard on reading strategies to help us figure out tricky words.  
*Look at the pictures
*Sound out words
We will continue to add to our list to include more strategies.  Students will be practicing these strategies in small group with me, independently during READ to SELF and at home with you through take home books.  We also worked hard on spelling this week.  Please make sure that you are practicing these spelling words (found at the homework tab) each night.
