Aug. 31 – Sept. 4 part III
September 2, 2009I usually get out a week’s plans at a time, so this is a strange week for me. I’ll try to do better next week!
Wednesday: Reading-We continued building community while reading Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears . While building community may not sound important, it is necessary! More active learning can take place if the kids can communicate effectively and appropropriately with each other . The reading strategies that will be learned this year incorporate active thinking and discussing.
Thursday: Language- Personalizing the Writing notebook and learning how to find writing prompts from other sources than the teacher.
Friday: Reading- Using the book And Still the Turtle Watched students will practice procedure for a read-aloud. They will hear and discuss a story using active listening.
