MONDAY APRIL 6, 2020
For example: I predict that Edward will take a journey around the world and that he will be gone for a long time because there is a pocket watch in the picture.
Today's Updates...
- Each day, check here for a 'morning message' featured in this section. Please watch it as part of your 'school routine'. We noticed that some families have created a "visual schedule" for their day and posted it in their home workspace. What a great idea! This is a nice way to select times for different activities and breaks each day and can be very flexible!
- Today's Morning Message:
To Do's For Today...
1. Literacy: 30 minutes
- Watch the morning message with Mr. Kelly and Mrs. Zwack where we introduce our new read aloud novel: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
- Next, open your visual journal to the next clean, new double page and create a title page (write title only for now) on the left side page for our work to come.
- Then, look closely at the images below and think about the title.
- On the page following the title page, please complete today's assignment:
- What is the difference between a "trip" and a "journey?" Make a T chart on the top half of the page to show your thinking and record in point form.
- On the bottom half of the same page, write two predictions that you think might happen in this novel, in sentences with capital letters and punctuation. Remember to add details to expand your ideas!
- Take a photo of your journal pages and upload them to Iris. Tag your responsibility teacher only when you are finished!
