In reading, we continue to work on main idea. Today, we watched a short video and started reading about The Hindenburg in our Storyworks magazines. We will use these throughout the year in our class as it is a mixture of fiction and informational text. Tomorrow, we will finish that article looking at the main ideas and details.
I gave a sample book talk today and received horrible reviews. My promise was that tomorrow I will try again and put more effort into it. ;)
In writing, we worked on writing leads today. See some samples below. Midweek we will be starting to type some drafts of an expert piece that will be used in a class book that we will be publishing. For this, students will write one page all about a topic they know plus create a one-page illustration. More information about this will be sent home soon if you are interested in purchasing a copy of the class work.
