Today, the girls added more detail to their original drawings. Through this process (and as they work their way up to writing stories), they are understanding that a writer is never truly finished with just one draft. We are so proud of how hard they are working on their stories!
We also had our first Author's Chair today. The girls will get a chance to share and celebrate their work with their peers after every Writer's Workshop.
In math, the girls have been reviewing different methods of sorting. This is both a math review lesson as well as a "secret" lesson to prepare them for their word sorts, which will start next week.
Today during science we discussed what an ant might eat if they were to eat out at a restaurant. The girls put on their "scientist" hats and predicted what the ants would like the most.
We prepared our Ant Cafe and waited for 2 hours.
When we investigated later, the girls were delighted to see that the ants had happily set up camp in their cafe.
Make sure you ask your daughter what food the ants enjoyed the most!
The girls are learning how to choose an appropriate book for their D.E.A.R. time. We reviewed the three different ways to read a book (ask your daughter) and which of those ways were their favorite. The girls are excited as we are slowly working towards earning our first Coffee House.
