Dan the Flying Man

Movement: Again today we practiced teh Cha Cha Slide. The kids (and I) are getting the hang of it.

Writer's Workshop: During our mini lesson today, we focused on using words like "first", "then", and "finally" in our writing instead of linking all of our ideas with the word "and".. After students wrote independently for 30 minutes, four students were randomly selected to share their writing and illustrations.

Dan the Flying Man: Today we reread Dan the Flying Man. We used our imagination to think of where we would fly if we had the power to.. after brainstorming and creating a list, students did illustrations of the setting for their imaginative flying.

Video: We watched a Scholastic video with some of our favorite stories. This included Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Trashy Town, Rosie's Walk... During videos in the afternoon, I've been completing a few more assessments with students.
