Over the past few weeks, more Mystery Readers have surprised us with some great read-alouds! First Sophia's mom read a personal favorite of Mrs. Thomson's: Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig. Then, Ryan R.'s mom surprised us with Ryan's favorite book, Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester, and lastly, John's mom joined us to read One Hungry Monster by Susan O'Keefe. We really enjoyed them all!
Thank you for visiting! We are looking forward to more Mystery Readers in the coming weeks...If you are interested in joining us as a Mystery Reader, we'd love to have you!
How can we make our writing dazzle? Using "fancy" words of course! During Writer's Workshop, we have been discussing word choice to make our writing more descriptive. After reading several Fancy Nancy books by Jane O'Connor, we collected and recorded our favorite fancy words. We used these words in fancy sentences and created this fancy word wall:
To end our fancy week, Friday was Fancy Day! We shared our favorite Fancy Nancy stories with Miss Klipfel's and Mrs. Higgins' classes. It was a stupendous (that's a fancy word for great) day!
