Day 5


We began our first Science lesson with a Weather Study and the book Professor Fergus Fahrenheit and His Wonderful Weather Machine. This book is captivating with it's weather vocabulary and the interesting, Peter Max-like illustrations.


The students were asked to close their eyes and image a specific type of weather that was either in the book or that they have experienced.


From the book and their imagination, they came up with enough weather words (some with a little prompting) to fill in our Weather poster.


Students completed their own Weather posters.




We finished 4 Daily-5 rotations and practiced STAMINA! By the last try; the students successfully completed 22 minutes of Read to Self while I worked one-on-one with some students.

Do you think that they were thrilled with their success? LOL


With this success, we were able to watch another successful Daily-5 classroom for entertainment.


This afternoon, we were able to try the song for ourselves with Miss Osberg's class. I cannot post the video on the blog until we get all the permission slips returned.

We finished the day with Megan reading the pictures and Liliana retelling Professor Fergus Fahrenheit and His Wonderful Weather Machine.
