Revising...

When we learn more, we can do more...and here's some evidence!

Check out these great writers and their revisions.  I had chatted with them, shared some ideas, and revision happened!

Now we can see his speech bubble!

Her first draft...

She added, "because I am a girly-girl."

Be Brave...

I was so impressed with some readers today.  One of our boys named our not right now books, "look it" books.  I am pretty sure his first grade teacher named these type of books and we can have one of these in our bins, but the rest of the books need to be books where we can be a story teller and sound like talking when we read.

Here are some brave readers that did some hard work today!  I am proud of them and I hope you are too!

Food!

It's the first of many posts of food that will come.  Today's food?  Guacamole!  Yum!  And I loved that many kids protested trying it...and wouldn't you know it?  They loved it!

We made a mess!!!

We made a mess!!!

We made our notebook covers that reflect us.  And then we cleaned...

Taking AR quizzes

Comment from a student - I don't understand this...

My response - Um, that's because it's in Spanish...

Oh my!

What's Plaid?

I love it when the class stops me when I am reading and ask what a word means...

the word - plaid...

Great strategy

How smart is he? Flipping vowels is huge! We were playing a game and they had to say the word right to get to go. 

He said "skine" and then said the short vowel version and figured it out!!!

Flipping vowels is a great strategy for tricky words.
