Reading and Writing
These past couple of weeks we have been learning about tall tales and fairy tales. This week we are writing our own fairy tale. Students have to include a setting, characters, a problem and solution in addition to royalty, magic and a happy ending.
Today, they drew a picture of their setting. Tomorrow they will write about it.
Science
We are also learning about the diversity of life. Students have been trying to figure out how to know if something is alive. They are learning how scientists categorize different living things.
Groups
I am starting to create learning groups. Learning groups are based primarily on the topics students need to learn and the amount of time a student needs to learn something. Some students need more time than others. I don't want to rush anyone through a concept and I don't want to hold anyone back who already understands. Students are learning to work independently when it is time for me to work with a different group. I am pleased with how responsible they are.
