Animal Paragraphs and App Combo
Today, I decided to let a few students, who had finished writing two descriptive paragraphs about animals, the chance to test drive an app for the class. Using Piccollage and 30 Hands, Mason and Andy created a visual and oral presentation on their animals. Please make a comment if you get a chance. I think they did a wonderful job and will be able to help other students who would like to use these two apps to present their animals. Thanks in advance!

Inferring
We have begun our new reading comprehension unit on inferring. Take a look at some of the anchor charts we are using in our classroom...
Today, we watched the short movie "Pigeon: Impossible". We were able to come up with so many inferences based on what we saw in the video and our schema (background knowledge). The movie does not have any words so we had to figure out the story using inferences. If you want to look at the movie again...check it out below!

We are definitely going to have to watch this video again...there are so many clues!

Spelling and Jump Rope for Heart
You can find spelling activities for this weeks words here! On June 5th, St. Cecilia will have their first annual Jump Rope for Heart event (weather permitting) outside in the yard. Good weather and great music will be combined for a wonderful block of fitness! We will have a rain date on the following Monday. Students have been practicing their skipping skills both in gym and outside at recess. I am very impressed with how they have progressed and how much they enjoy skipping! After a skipping session, their hearts are beating and their faces are red...a good sign of a great workout. Please donate for a good cause and to celebrate all the jumping our class has been doing over the past month. Stay tuned for some videos celebrating our hard work!
