We are off to a great start for 2018! Learners have been working hard finishing up our current unit How We Express Ourselves! Our summative projects are in the works and I cannot wait to share their final pieces with you!
We are wrapping up our text structures unit by working on sequencing on of my favorite mentor texts, A Tree Called Steve. Learners had a great time creating comics of some of their favorite texts.
While learning about natural resources, we were inspired by a book called The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind to create our own windmills. Learners got the chance to create their windmill and go through a testing period to see if they were successful! Learners enjoyed being hands on and getting to experiment with their own designs.
We are starting our Poetry Unit in reading this month by reading a variety of different poetry texts! Some of our favorites came from Shel Silverstein! We will continue to analyze different poems and work on adding more of the figurative language to out own writing!
