A New Book to Share that I Love

We've been working this week on writing a complete sentence with a capital, spacing, and ending punctuation.

As I was browsing Amazon, which can be very dangerous, this book popped up and it instantly ended up in my cart.

It's about Scribble, who never thought he was different until he met up with some drawings.  He was left out because he didn't look like the others.  Scribble teaches a VERY important lesson-that it's ok to be different.  Together they created beautiful art.

I also showed my class that a scribble, or mistake could be turned into something beautiful.  Students drew their very own, added details, and wrote a sentence.  Here's some of their work!

Try this lesson and see what your students scribble!

Welcome Back

We did it!!  We made it through the first 4 days of school.  I was exhausted by the end of the week but I hope your child had a great start.

We have 10 boys and 6 girls to complete our class so far.

We tried Jitter Juice on the first day to help with any butterflies we had, spent time getting to know each other, read LOTS OF BOOKS, worked with our names, and began practicing Read to Self.

Here they are making connections to Owen, a character we read about who LOVED his blanket.  They wrote one thing they loved the most and illustrated.

If you don't see your child's picture, please make sure you sign the permission slip.  I'll send another one home on Monday.
