Half the pod created "I notice" and "I wonder" charts for the poem, In Flanders Fields. The other group listened to a song and noticed things about the lyrics and how they made us feel. They will eventually be creating a water color animation! We also looked at an old photograph and used our detective skills to solve what was happening in the photo.
The whole pod had CCT after lunch. Two groups drew a skunk; in particular, the skunk from the book, "A Boy Called Bat". Ms. Kinsman's group read a variety of books and had a discussion about them. They also drew a reading response to the book about Bat.
For Literacy we finished our Hatchet Reading Responses. We were predicting what might happen to Brian who was stuck on a plane with a dead pilot. What should he do????
We had our second last practice with Ty from Sound Kreations. Remember, our performance is tomorrow night!!!
