Jane Goodall and Magic e

Our Mystery Reader this week was a special granddad.


We finished up our Hibernation unit with our last three presenters.  We are proud of the girls for doing an outstanding job of informing their friends about their animals.  






We also had our first famous female visit our classroom today--Jane Goodall!  




She taught the girls all about her passion of animals and her work in Africa.




The girls were introduced to the magic e today during language arts.  We watched a short video from The Electric Company (brings back some memories, doesn't it?) that highlighted how the magic e changes a vowel's sound.  Afterwards we brainstormed some short vowel words then used the silent e to change the word.  The girls also played a fun game of Pictionary with magic e words.
