Weekly Update: September 22-26

Talk Like a Pirate Day:


We had so much fun dressing up like pirates for "Talk Like a Pirate Day."


After reading the book, How I Became a Pirate, students worked together to create their own pirate stories using the app Toontastic Jr.  They had a blast creating their stories and using their voices to tell the story!






Next Week:

Reading:

We will begin guided reading groups. . . finally!!!  We are focusing on story elements as well as learning to use strategies that good readers use as they read. . . making predictions, paying attention to vocabulary, etc.
