Highlights of the Week

Our book display was full of exciting, new nonfiction texts to explore.

We had a wide variety of nonfiction books at many reading levels to choose from during reading workshop.

Each student has a mini clock in their math tool kit for hands on practice with telling time.

Mrs. Singer (mom to Mrs. Pols!) visited Tuesday for a Hanukkah story and a fun round of dreidel!

Small groups worked to read nonfiction and record facts from their text.

Celebrating "matches" made during a game of clock concentration.

Exploring nonfiction texts and working on a book response.  One goal this week was to learn to identify various text features in nonfiction (captions, headings, glossaries, etc).

This duo partnered up for their nonfiction investigations.

Recording facts about bones

We have some talented dreidel spinners in our class.

Clock Concentration 

This group decided to make their own clock cards for the math game.

Part of our work on time this week was thinking about what happens in our lives in a 24 hour day.

We explored AM and PM.

We made an anchor chart that helps us remember features we may see frequently in nonfiction texts.

This chart helps us get familiar with features we commonly find in informational books.  We'll be writing our own books like this  very soon!
