Life in the Library!

We started the morning on the Smart Board! One great advantage of teaching the class in the Library is we have lots of fabulous resources around us. Today's Language Arts lesson was on rhyming poetry. The students read some poems on the smart board and filled out a chart.They were so excited to share words because everyone wanted a turn on the board. The activity after the lesson was to write a poem. They are due next Wednesday.After working on our Poetry skills, we worked on our performing skills with "The Friends For Life Program". Todays lesson focused on ways of geting along with each other and being aware of our emotions. The students were given a sheet with emotions on it and then had to write a scenario and then act it out in groups of three. I believe we have some future actors in the group!
Mrs. Wilson taught the class how to search for library books on the computers and we had some silent reading time after taking out Library books. They are due next Thursday!
We continued our Social Studies lesson from yesteday on the Smart Board. They chose four explorers and made a power point about them. After they were finished, they created a trading card for each Explorer. Each card should have a picture and a list of facts.
Watch out Pokemon, Explorer cards will be the next popular thing! Great work today everyone, I will see you next week.
