Today was probably my most favorite day this year, so far. It was so much fun watching the kids share their superhero with the class! Some kids really showed their creative side, but overall I was impressed by how much they have learned about their special friend. Everyone had a HUGE smile on their face today because of this simple little activity. I loved every minute of it. Then we talked about a superhero that was only in first grade, Ruby Bridges. I read a story that explained what she went through and the upset people she had to face. At the end of the story, some of the kids needed a moment to take it all in. I actually thought a few were going to tear up after hearing what this little girl had to endure. It really touched them. This afternoon we worked more on our sounds and high frequency words. We also did an activity that was about cause and effect. Miss C. put some silly pictures on the smartboard, for example a guy with a really bad sunburn, and we had to talk about what caused it. It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of laughs out of it. At the end of our day, we ended with the daily 5. We are writing more about our beanie babies. They are turning out AMAZING. We also created a word search with our spelling words. I can't wait to see you all tomorrow.
