This morning we read the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs after several requests from various students. After enjoying this book together it was time to play and then for Mrs. Guilmette to join us for Guidance. During Guidance Mrs. Guilmette talked about what bullying is and how to report bullying to an adult if it is occurring. Next it was time for math and we worked in small groups to decompose the numbers 7 and 8. After that some students practiced rolling and writing numerals while others used the computer or iPad to practice subitizing with a ten frame.
During Reader's Workshop we read another book by Ezra Jack Keat's Pet Show. Students noticed that Peter and his sister Susie are getting much older and are making new friends in the neighborhood. Tomorrow we are going to start thinking about and charting what we notice about Ezra Jack Keats as an author. The more books we read during this author study the more we are able to notice about Keat's style and craft as a writer. These authors then become mentors for student writing in addition to books we recognize and love to read over and over again! Soon we will be moving on to studying the work of another author Todd Parr. We ended the day with Art and a Fire Drill.
