Yesterday, Ms. Leom's class created family posters. We started our day by sitting in a circle and sharing our posters. We will create a classroom book with our posters.
Next, Ms. Leom's class talked about our classroom, our class rules, examples of what each school character trait (class rule) means, and we created examples with a partner to share.
Students presented their work to the class, and we created a mission statement for our classroom. This will be posted in our room. Our vision, "We use the school character traits to create a safe place to learn, to help us know how to act in our classroom, so we can learn."
Next we put our curiosity to rest and used the duct tape. We created our flex reading journals.
We collected the duct tape. We intend to use it for one of our future rewards: a duct tape craft choice.
We rotated today. Ms. Leom's students visited Mr. Greninger's room. Mr. Greninger's students visited Ms. Leom's room. We learned how to write paragraphs with an indented topic sentence, three detail sentences, and a closure sentence. We also talked about drawing a picture. Each week there will be one student randomly chosen to be Student of the Week in each class. Everyone will write a page for that student. The pages will be collected and made into a book to be given to each Student of the Week (SOTW).
Ms. Leom was very clear about the expectations of this writing assignment. We started it together. We had over a half hour to write five sentences and draw a picture. She walked around and reminded us about capital letters and punctuation marks. This will be the first grade entered into School-View. Both classes worked on this writing assignment today.
It was an indoor Recess day, so we worked on Super Student Posters (example of one from the package).
Lunch went smoother today (on time).
Ms. Leom is reading Jerry Spinelli's Fourth Grade Rats to us.
It was a full day, and we are looking forward to tomorrow!!
