Today, we learned about choosing "Good Fit Books" for ourselves, using the "I PICK" method (I look at a book for: Purpose, Interest, Comprehension, and Knowing the words). We then had some time as a class to check out the book fair and write down the titles of books we might be interested in buying (during "Meet the Teacher"). We learned a new math game (thank you C.M.!), as well as practiced some addition facts. After lunch, we continued our "Food Chain" discussion, and ended the day helping out our buddies at the book fair!
Great books for sale in the Learning Commons!
We will be hosting a Scholastic book fair September 21 & 22 during Meet the Teacher. Students will have an opportunity to view the books during the week. Notices and fliers will be coming home soon.
