Week 15

For Nov 26-30th:

4th: The Twelve Days of Christmas in North Carolina  by Julia Stead.
  • Used powerpoint with visual of the original 12 days to get them started with song from You.tube
  • Read first day and compared it to the original version
  • Skipped to 12th day to cover all the objects she chose as gifts. Had students evaluate with thumbs-up or thumbs-down was this a good representation of NC. Do you like the "gifts" she chose?
  • Challenged students to do a better job with their foldable book they made with Ms. Horrell. Passed out planning sheet for them to think about their objects and design a graphic for their book with caption.

3rd: Writing expository papers together.

K-2: Merry Christmas, BIG HUNGRY BEAR!  by Don and Audrey Wood
Get little book about the true meaning of giving (thinking of others).
"This book caught my attention because the title includes 'bear' but there is no bear on the cover. Can you help me find the bear in this story?"
What did the mouse learn? Did he change? Did he learn anything about giving/ receiving gifts?

Did not meet with pre-K or 5th grade due to workshop scheduled.
