More Weather Fun!

We started our day with Mrs. Winstel. Mrs. Myers was out for an appointment. Our word of the day today was "any". It was a rule breaker, because the "a" said the sound of "short e". It was a chunk in the word "many". The rest of the morning was library time. After lunch and recess, Mrs. Myers was back. We heard the story, The Rain Came Down. We listened for the most important event in the story. This is the event that changes the characters or action in the story. Then, we had to list reasons why it was so important. We did a good job! Then, we had reading workshop and guided reading. Mrs. Myers read with the Frogs and Toads group. The Robot group read on their own for tomorrow. Next, we visited our last center of the week. We also worked really hard to finish our weather reports for tomorrow's taping. Mrs. Myers conferenced with each group to make sure they had everything ready. She said that our scripts and posters were great! Some of us are bringing in props tomorrow! Don't forget! Then, it was time to learn about weather. We watched a short video clip about winter and fall. We had to record three facts we learned during the video. Then, we wrote and shared questions we still had about the season. At the end of the day, we had so much fun writing on carousel poster for each of the seasons. We rotated around the room in groups each adding new information about the weather and activities for each season. We wrote down all the facts we knew. Tomorrow, we will add these facts to our weather dictionaries. We can't wait to vote on the Fabulous Five Handwriters tomorrow morning. Don't forget to finish your survey tonight for a bean!
