Evergreen Theater Day 2

Today we started the day with centers and guided reading. This was our last rotation of the three centers we have been working on. In our writing time we continued working on our Whispering Woods writing. The grade 1's and 2's spent some extra time talking about the expectations for their finished rough copy and then worked to get finished. Some people were able to get their rough copy finished and will be starting to type their good copies tomorrow.

At Evergreen Theater we started practicing being polar bears. We practiced pouncing, hiding, making our beds out of sea kelp, and hunting. We snuck up on Ms. Boyer when we were practicing being silent hunters. Ms. Boyer closed her eyes and put up her hand anytime she could hear us moving (Polar bears can move silently). We were so quiet that we all snuck right up to her and then roared. She was so surprised that she screamed!

This afternoon we continued learning about growing patterns. Yesterday Ms. Boyer noticed that most of us were very good at understanding growing patterns were the pattern grows by 1 element each time but we had more trouble when the pattern grew by 2 or 3 elements each time. We spent some more time practicing these together and then tried to do some on our own. After that we had music and then we had inside free choice time instead of gym. We could not use the gym because of Evergreen Theater and many of us had very wet outside clothes from lunch and didn't think we would be comfortable outside again.

Please remember tomorrow is our library day. Make sure to bring back your books. Tomorrow is also photo retakes day. If you are getting retakes, please bring your original photo proofs with you.
