We started of the day with Gym. We started a writing activity about inviting a famous person as a dinner guest. After recess we had Dr. Weinstangel work with our class on composing music. We learned about percussion, wind and what the difference is between noise and music. We used our bodies, and different objects to create some music. Some students even got to conduct our class in creating sounds using things in our environment.
After lunch we did some independent reading, while the final touches were put on our acrostic poems. The poems are on display outside the class. We started to talk about writing descriptive paragraphs. I introduced the graphic organizer called "The Hamburger" to help us organize our ideas. The top bun being the topic, the burger, cheese, lettuce, mustard etc. are the supporting details and the bottom bun being a closing or summary sentence. As a class we used our five senses to look at Stone's stuffed animal. We put our info into "the hamburger" and together wrote a descriptive paragraph.
We did our Math activities and after recess we read another chapter of our novel. Edward is now in the possession of a young boy Bryce. Bryce stole the rabbit from his job as a scarecrow in the garden of a woman Bryce works for.
