My cooperating teacher lives a pretty big distance from our school and she was snowed in! She was not able to make it to school today until the afternoon. This means that Miss Denko took over the morning! Nothing like diving right now :) Loved it! I did morning meeting, comparing bar models, and science. In science I read The Moon Book by Gail Gibbons. We talked about the phases of the moon. Great song to help students learn it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4zpRmUdu7I
In literacy, students practiced what they should be doing while reading: stop, think, and jot. They used post-its to mark various thoughts they had.
When it came time for poetry, we learned about a Poet's Voice. Today we wrote poems that speak directly to the subject. With the solar system fresh in their minds, many students wrote many poems directly to the sun, moon, and planets! They came up with such great things!
