Little Eaglets (Preschool Story Time): Ms. Hirst, first grade teacher, was our guest reader. Eaglets heard "Sheep in a Jeep" and got color sheets about sheep and the letter J. Next week's reader (6/4) will be Mrs. Goodsky, 1st & 2nd grade teacher.
2nd Grade (Gregerson): We heard "One Tiny Turtle" by Nicola Davies. We reflected on the non-fiction text by completing a sheet where students listed one thing they learned from the story and created an illustration.
3rd Grade (Pawling): We created a short, 4 part story as the author. Next week we'll get to be illustrators for stories created by the other 3rd grade class. We talked about how your writing needs to be descriptive so the illustrator knows what to draw.
4th & 5th Grade (Wildenhaus / Mindt): We began a lesson of private and personal online information. We identified sites that students go to that require some kind of registration to gain access to the site. Vocabulary: register
6th Grade (Bogert) : We began a lesson on the Latin language. We had an overview of where Latin developed, why it might be helpful to learn some of it (especially roots), and how English uses words from other languages. We'll continue this exploration next week.
