So, with that being said...what's been going on in my classroom? We've been working on combining our knowledge of historical fiction as readers with our work writing our own historical fiction short story pieces. This is always so hard for the students since their knowledge of history is limited and this is our first narrative piece all year. My student teacher has been doing a great job helping them make connections between their work in Reading and Writing Workshops!
We just finished up our work on the rock cycle and took our quiz on the chapter. I created a pretty cool Rock Cycle project where my students had to create their own version of the cycle using titles and arrows I provided. (I really enjoyed that I was able to use my love of fonts for this activity!) The students really had to plan to figure out how all the pieces worked together and it was fascinating to see what they came up with. Here's a picture of one of my student's Rock Cycles - I was pretty impressed with her planning.
After we all struggled through this project, I made some changes to it and am posting it in my Teachers Notebook Store. Be sure to check it out, just click on the store button on my blog! I am also putting up pictures of the three pages of the project on here. Once this is done it is off to SPRING BREAK! WOO HOO!
Hope you all have enjoyed your spring break, or that you have some great plans for this coming week!
