Miss Ahrens' Class: Day 8

Wednesday began much differently than the other days. We stayed outside for a bit so that the air conditioning man could arrive and fix our air.

Once we got inside we needed to forgo our Morning Calendar, because of time, but we did have time to read a (sort of) weather book.

Tuesday contains mostly pictures, so we read the pictures. The frogs begin to rise on their lily pads and travel toward the town for some excitement. In the beginning of their journey; they are a bit scared but as time passes they appear as if they are having lots of fun, especially when they are chasing the dog en masse!

After reading the wonderful pictures; we discussed if floating frogs were possible and the students came up with some inventive ways that the frogs and lily pads could rise and float.

We began our Daily 5 rotations after the story and discussion.

During our rotations, students Read to Self, continued patterns with me, and the First Graders went on the computers to work on their Spelling.

With a ring of the chime, the students were called back to our meeting place. Here we celebrated the longest rotation that they have had to date. Twenty-five minutes!

After recess, we had one last rotation for the day, where students worked on the computers, Read to Self, and completed a Word Work activity with beginning sounds.
