Good Ol' Friday!

Happy Friday Folks!

We are still working heavily on routines and procedures this week, and probably a lot next week too! I say put in the work early in the year, so that the rest of the year flows smoothly and is conducive for meaningful learning!

We started the day out going over how to appropriate utilizes Post-Its, as we will be using them throughout the year in our activities!

After that lesson, we got into collaborative groups and used post-its to come up with agreements for our class!

Yep, those are, indeed, agreements that the students generated!

We had a few Me Bag presentations today, which is had us practice a few of our speaking and listening skills! On top of that, we also practiced utilizing the Jot Dot strategy!


We also read the Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein today and practiced using a thinking map to describe a character in a book with details. We're practicing because eventually, this will be a choice on the Daily Reading Log that we will do independently!






That's the rundown for today folks! Cheers and have a good one!
