I'm not sure if everyone will find this as humorous as my husband and I do. The anchorwoman makes the video even funnier! Enjoy! 2nd graders- Thank you 2nd grade moms for showing up each week for the last month. I appreciate your help and this is an open invitation for you to stay at any time. In class we worked on section2 & 3 of the story sequence chart for Goldilocks. Remember, not every line has information from it. Rather, we answer questions and then record the key words. Please have your student narrate from their story sequence chart sections 2 &3. To end the story, please do not say "The End." Please end your Goldilocks story with a clincher line that ends the story strongly. For example, "Goldilocks decided to learn better manners, " or "Goldilocks never let her curiosity get the best of her again." etc. Next week- Please bring back all 3 parts in your students best handwriting. We will try and share at least one paragraph from each student and then they will file it into my box. I sent home a noun and verb worksheet. It would be a great activity to work on during the week. 3-5 Graders: Congratulations! This is the first time all 3 grades completely finished a KWO in class! What a good feeling if you are a parent of a children in these grades. It's my goal for each class to leave with at least same amount of work completed on the KWO. Today, after reading our Final, Polished Copies of Ziggurats (and some 5th graders did the challenge), we filed them and moved on to lesson 4. Please see the attached KWO and ask your student to narrate the story back to you using this KWO. This is a crucial step in the process. This lesson introduces the idea of imagery writing. Your student has a 5 sense word list glued in their blue spirals (also they have an -ly adverb condensed list glued in too). Please work through the lesson 4 pages 37-42 and the checklist is included on page 43. The Challenge assignment (specifically for 5th graders, but welcome to anyone) is on page 44. The KWO for this challenge assignment needs to be on a separate piece of paper. The challenge assignment is an introductory paragraph to this multi paragraph assessment that we will continue next week. Please, have each of the paragraphs on their own paper.
