• 00:51 Emergent Storybook

  For Reading Workshop, we started something called "Emergent Storybook" this week. That means we read the same story every day for 5 days. Each day, we practice a different aspect of storytelling as a class. Here’s a video of Day 5, from this morning.
  Day 1 - Look at the cover, think about what we already know, take a picture walk, read the book.
  Day 2 – Think about the special vocabulary the author used when writing the story. We use that vocabulary in our retelling (mother, father, sprinkled)
  Day 3 – Character voice: we try to use special voices for the characters!
  Day 4 – Students retell the story to me!
  Day 5 – Retell the story using our storytelling props.
  
  Your child will take these storytelling pieces home today and can tell you the story of The Carrot Seed, by: Ruth Krauss.

  Here is a sampling of yesterday's busy math workshop. After a mini-lesson, students break into small groups to work together in a math workstation. They practice and extend the skills taught in the week's mini-lessons. First graders love this independent, hands-on, and interactive time!

  Updated video--there was a mistake in the first one!
  
  The students loved making up these name poems. We did each child's poem as they took turns being our Name of the Day. Each student thought of something that started with the same letter has his/her name and then picked one logo (environmental print) from the bottom that they could read. I saved all of the poems we created and then the students individually met with Mrs. Brooks (technology teacher) for a couple minutes to read their own poem for this video. I know it is a little long, but your kindergartner will be SO excited to see this!
