We enjoyed having a guest reader from 4th grade.
This week we were busy learning about how characters can change emotions during a story.
We discovered that if we know what the character is feeling it helps us to understand the story better and make better predictions about what could happen next.
We began by reading The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.
Students made observations about how William's emotions changed during the story.
We wanted to note the emotion and what event made him feel that way.
Then, we took selfies for each of the emotions.
Later in the week, students had a choice of what book to do the character emotion change on.
They listened to the story on Seesaw and recorded their observations.
They made emotion faces to track the changes.
Finally, they posted their picture of the timeline on Seesaw with a summary of the character changes.
In the beginning, ___ felt ____ because _____.
In the middle, __ felt ___ because ____.
At the end, ____ felt ____ because _____.
We touched base with our accountability partners to see how we are working towards our
W.I.G.s (Wildly Important Goals).
We attended the 2nd Grade Music Show.
It was full of COLOR!
Great job, 2nd graders!
Some 1st graders were busy at recess practicing our "Kindness is a Muscle" song that we will be singing for the 1st Grade Leadership Assembly on Wednesday.
Mr. Victor Pacini came to Kipling today to teach kids about being safe from abuse.
Be sure to ask your child about the lessons that Mr. Victor taught us!
WOOHOO, Cacioppo Crew!
We have read 1,300 books on Epic!
Can we make it to 2,000 by the end of the school year?
OH YEAH!
Happy 120th day of 1st Grade!
We are growing our brains everyday and building friendships along the way!
We enjoyed our Guest Reader today!
