Our morning work task today was:
What are some inferences you can make from the following statement? Record as many inferences as you can.
The girl smiled as she walked into the room.
We read the story, A Quiet Place. We each thought about where our quiet place would be. It could be a place we had been to once, a place we know very well, or a place we had never been. We created a web of descriptive words and phrases about our quiet place and then recorded our ideas in a paragraph. We will be taking time to revise and edit our paragraphs to strengthen them. We decided together that our paragraphs should include:
- first sentence hooks the reader
- adjectives
- strong verbs
- figurative language (simile, personification, alliteration, power of 3, metaphor)
- descriptive vocabulary
We had leadership time in the gym with the grade 1's and helped teach them a new game.
We continued our work with input/output tables.
Our day finished looking at some art and critiquing what we saw.
Reminders:
- Book Fair next week
- Conferences are next week on Thursday evening and Friday. Booking opens Friday, November 29 at 6 pm.
