This afternoon, after Center Time and Afternoon meeting, we read Cosette's Star of the Week poster (nice job Cosette!!). We then read a book for our Reading Lesson today. We did what is called an Interactive Read-Aloud, in which I ask the students focused and planned questions about the text (The Quiltmaker's Gift) as we are reading. Our focus today was on comprehension (ask your child what the book was about (keeping in mind that we only read half of it today).

After that, we headed up to the Computer Lab for a half hour of math and reading practice. When we got back down to our room, we worked with pattern blocks (this is what pattern blocks look like), making pictures, as we start to study geometry. After all that, we had a short Choice Time, and then got all bundled up to go home.

Stay warm!!
