On Monday, our class will do a short presentation entitled, Florida Is.....the children worked with a partner and generated as many phrases or words that they have learned during our study of Florida. We then took these words and phrases and created a poster using Wordle, a computer program that the kids love. On Monday at our Town Meeting, each pair will present three items from their poster while carrying a bright pink flamingo. I will take some pictures and post them on the blog so that each of you can share in our experience.
Next week we will begin our study of the Calusa Native Americans. We will cover 3 or 4 Native American groups that lived in Florida. The children will design and organize a booklet that will store information they read so that they are better able to compare and contrast these groups.
We are continuing with our study of subjects and predicates with adjective work thrown in. We have been talking about the 4 kinds of sentences and the 5 parts to a sentence that allow writers to become more detailed. Hold up your hand and ask you child to identify your five fingers as it relates to writing a good sentence.
I hope you all are enjoying your three day weekend!
