We are having fun with our read-alouds this week!
PreK scholars are helping Ms Margocs read the wordless Hike by Pete Oswald. We are focusing on sentences and phrases with prepositions--they are in the car, he is pointing to the forest, they are walking on the trail, he is putting on his pajamas.
Kindergarteners and first graders are learning some facts about underground technology--subways from around the world. Underground: Subway Systems Around the World is a Texas 2x2 book by Uijung Kim. Kim gives us numerical information--the year each subway was built, how long the rails are, how many stations--and then provides a seek-and-find on the next page! We're using the doc camera and interactive flat panel to circle the answers.
Second grades are listening to Facts vs. Opinions vs. Robots by Michael Rex. They are already pretty good at figuring out what is a fact and what is an opinion. We also learned that sometimes we just need to wait for more information.
In third through fifth grades, our eligible voters are choosing their favorite Bluebonnet Book over the next couple of weeks. Ms Margocs will be contacting our top readers soon to invite them to try out for our Battle of the Bluebonnets team.
Another shipment of new books arrived yesterday!
Hope you like the new additions to our collection, Dillo Readers!
