And that's all for this week,
Ms. Brookes
In a recent discussion with my collaborating teacher, we decided that we're going to start doing themes each week when it comes to our read alouds and what we use for connections to other subjects. This week we choose to use the theme of puppies, we used fiction and non-fiction texts to give students a variety of different books to build background knowledge. After we do read alouds, we always put them into a special area for students to choose when they get new books in there book boxes each week. Then on Friday, which was Johnny Appleseed day, we used Brain Pop videos to learn about Johnny Appleseed, who he was and what he did. During Science that day we used our sense of taste to taste three different types of apples, yellow, green, and red, we used a graphic organizer to help our kids organize their thoughts. After the apple lesson on Friday morning, we decided to use a apple theme for the next week for reading as well as science for a long term investigation. I'm excited to see what goes next week with our new theme.
And that's all for this week, Ms. Brookes
