Frog and Toad Play

Last Thursday my second grade class performed a "radio play" of a Frog and Toad story The Swim.  We invited the kindergarten and first grade classes.  My students practiced to use expression as they read.  They also designed pictures of Frog's bathing suit.  It was a fun time and they did great!!

Its Fall!!

We are getting into a good routine with reading AR, Daily 5, and learning and using addition strategies in math.  We have learned and are practicing 3 of the Daily 5 literacy componants.  They are Read to Self, Work on Writing and Read to Someone.  We will start the 4th one next week, Word Work.  The students are really enjoying it because they also used Daily 5 in kindergarten with Mrs. Creswell.  We will be finishing up our Social Studies unit on Communities and then we will begin a science unit.  Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!
