We have been hard at work! Our theme and focus is on PROBLEM SOLVING and going DEEP into our thinking about our learning.
This week we have read several books about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the movement for equality. Several of our read aloud books have been examples of how children have made a difference and influenced others to treat everyone equally. We have examined how authors have selected the examples to relay a message of inspiration and to show how yes, even kids can accomplish great things.
We learned a great deal from Dr. King's biography written by his sister, Christine King, and compared how her perspective was dramatically different from any other author due to the fact that she lived and grew up with him.
In addition, we have been working on writing expository text. We've discussed the importance of this kind of writing (we asked them the last time they saw you write a fairy tale vs. a report for work). We will be DELVING into writing full force in the next few weeks.
It feels great to be back!
