Chicks, fancy chairs and poetry :) Haha


We have been so lucky to be included in Mrs. Runyan's class project. Here you can see that she invited us to her 1st grade room again. (This is also a fun way for them to see a first grade room) She is candling the chick eggs and you can actually see the chicks moving!!! It's crazy and awesome!





Devan is holding a thesaurus. We like to use 'fancy' words when writing. It's also important for your little readers to ask what words mean when reading. One of my favorite jobs as a teacher is to develop vocabulary. Sometimes I'm amazed at the words they do know the meaning of and words they don't know the meaning of! :) We decorated our fancy chair in hopes of using the thesaurus more, sharing our fancy writing (good voice/word choice), etc.



We started a poetry unit recently! I just LOVE teaching poetry! It's so fun to see them write. Enjoy these lovely selections from this week.



HAHAHA! LOVE this poem about vinegar and pickles :)
