Wild Weather Day

Today was a wild weather day! We saw storm clouds as think as night, whispy clouds, rain, and even sun today. It was really a perfect way to end our weather theme. Our word of the day today was "same". It was a rule follower, because it followed the CVCe rule. It was also on the "flame of -ame". We read the words from this family. We learned that the word "same" is an adverb. After recess, we worked on videotaping our weather reports. Check out the weather report for each season. We wrote them all by ourselves to show what we learned! We also read a Scholastic News about weather in March and April with a partner. After lunch, Mrs. Myers read the story, Little Cloud. We learned that an adverb is a word that describes a verb. An adverb tells how, how many, when, and where. We learned that adverbs sometimes end with the letters -ly. We also noticed that adverbs usually come after the verb in the sentence, unless the adverb tells "when" and then it usually comes before the verb. After the story, we worked together to find the verbs and adverbs in the story. There were tons. We will be adverb searching in the books we read this weekend! Next, we had project time. We finished our last center, had FUN FRIDAY time, finished our cloud stories and proofread with a partner, and practice reading a rain poem with a partner using fluency and expression. We were so busy!!! After recess, we had phys. ed. Then, we went back to the classroom. Mrs. Myers announced the super handwriter of the week. It was Madison! The most improved handwriter was Ryan! YAY! We will all try hard next week to be a winner. At the end of the day, we had Friday sharing! It was a great day! We hope for super weather this weekend! Next week's theme is Easter!
