What Did You Learn Today?

Today in class we did the following:

We continued with our read-aloud.
Mrs. Alaniz showed us how she responds to books in her notebook. We noticed she asks questions and gives opinions about events. We are at a really good part of the book, too.

Next we began our Mock Caldecott study by going to the library and reading some previous winners. A BALL FOR DAISY is the 2012 Medal Winner. As we read each book, we asked ourselves what made the book a winner. Tomorrow we will begin deciding on our own list.

Then we reviewed expository writing and how to include examples in our compositions. We also continued revising and editing our novels.

We also worked on long division. Mrs. Alaniz has posted a screencast for us to practice at home, too.

And we also began studying batteries and circuits and did an activity we will continue tomorrow. Look for that post soon!

It was a good day of learning in 4A!
