b-u-b-b-l-e-g-u-m

Writer's Workshop: In Writer's Workshop today we practiced the "bubblegum" method. This involves children s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g out the word and attempting to put down on paper the beginning and ending sounds and then filling in the middle. We practiced together, having students write their words as we stretched as a class.

Math Rotations: Students did another rotation through the teen-related centers that they were introduced to yesterday.

Performing Arts: After reading The Mitten several times, we acted out Jan Brett's story. (I apologize in advance for my singing on the video, I drown the kids out and that's truly a shame.)


Red Book Bags: Students who returned Red Bags on Wednesday checked out a new bag this afternoon.

P.E.: Today in P.E. the students did an excellent job in working through a slight drizzle that began while outside. We played a game of "Totally It Tag" with all 39 students. It was very fun and students did an excellent job of freezing when they were tagged.
