My New Year's resolution is to show the families of Room 8 more pictures of all the amazing learning that takes place in our classroom each week on our class blog. I have always posted pictures on Twitter with @kelliecacioppo and #cacioppoleaders. You can check out our student tweets on @cacioppoleaders. I try to follow up at the end of the week with Storify. You can check out last week's Storify here.
Here is a look back at our first week in 2018!
We have read 800 books since the start of the school year on Epic.
Our goal is to reach 1,000 books by February 27th.
Keep reading!!
We are learning about proactive language and how to be a transition person.
How can we turn something negative into something positive?
We have the choice in every circumstance.
We learned how to be proactive and improve ourselves.
When we try to get better we will inspire others to want to get better at something.
This goes along with being positive. If I am positive, I will inspire others to think positive.
We have been busy working on our new word sorts.
Mrs. Buch taught us about the new expectations for the MPR during lunch time.
Now that we know the plan, we are ready to lead the way!
We are working on our reading comprehension skills on Kids A-Z.
One challenge that we are working on is to go back in the text to find the evidence.
Where did it say that? I will go back and find the answer!
What do you like to do on a snowy day?
We would show you, but it is too cold outside!
We are writing down what we like to do in our booklet.
Flat Stellas and Flat Stanleys are returning to Kipling.
We are sharing our adventures with the class.
As we share, we are working on our presenting skills:
making sure our audience can hear us, understand us, and that we are able to answer questions from our audience!
We have been so busy researching for our upcoming class book.
I will be sending home important information this week about this official book that we will have published by SchoolMate Publishing!
We learned about an onomatopoeia.
Our challenge was to research to find an onomatopoeia for our animal.
We celebrated when we reached our goals in math on Khan Academy Mappers and Tenmarks!
Khan Academy Mappers is a great app for "just right fit" activities in math. Tenmarks starts by having the student work on the first or second grade skill and adjusts to challenge or remedial based on the student's performance.
Keep up the good work and keep on practicing!
We discussed how Habits 1, 2, 3, and 7 are "Me" Habits and 4, 5, and 6 are "We" Habits.
We learned about the abundance mentality.
We want to be happy and we want others to be happy too.
It is important to think of others so everyone feels good.
We had an incredible opportunity to visit the LMC twice on Friday!
In the morning, we went down to learn how to use the library resources to find information about specific topics.
We typed in our animal to find the call number. We then used the call number in the library to find our book on our topic.
We are experts at Pebble Go, but we also learned how to use World Book Online for our research.
Happy Researching!
