The Week of Jan. 4

Welcome back!
We finished our read aloud book called Rat Trap by Michael J. Daley. I thought it was a really exciting book because there is lots of action and adventure on the space station! This science fiction book is one of this year's DCF books. We are now reading The Time Travelers Book 1 in the Gideon Trilogy, by Linda Buckley-Archer. So far we are enjoying it!

Aurora was the Student of the Week! I learned that she sings in a singing competition each year at a county fair! She brought in a picture of herself singing on stage when she was five! She has two American Girl dolls and her grandmother gave her some pins of the dolls. She likes pandas and has a large collection of them! Aurora brought in pictures of her brother and when her family built their house.

On Tuesday a group of dancers from a Williston dance group came and showed us some of their moves. They did hip-hop. It was cool to watch!

Mrs. Randall is using book jackets for writing prompts and this week we used the book jacket from Fancy Nancy. We also created Fancy Nancy words and Plain Jane words. For example, I did crown is plain and tiara is fancy!

We can know access Weekly Reader on-line and learn more about the articles. We can also watch cool videos and other neat options.

Also, I used the Flip camera to take video during the week and we used one clip for a writing prompt. It was fun to do! We had a great time choosing whose point of view to write from.
