Extreme Classroom makeover

I wanted to give you all a chance to "preview" our new reading lounge.

Of course, I don't want to give it all away, so these are just a few hints...

Genres for our reading

The Crazy Classroom

This week we are working on figurative language, onomatopoeia is a sound, Example: POP! BOOM! BANG! CRASH! There are also Similes which compares two things using “like” or “as”.Example: The puppy is as fluffy as a   fur coat. She also showed us a song called ‘POP Goes My Heart.’ I thought she was insane when she was dancing to the song it was so funny! 

She also is making a reading lounge in the room next door and there was a really fun thing that happened  when she was asking the class separately what we think would make reading more fun and I said we should come up with a reading corner and she already asked Mrs.Raleeh if we could do it. S o now the room next door  is now the reading lounge. I cannot wait to go into it when it is done I hope it will be fun.

The V8 Shake

This week we will be learning how to use figurative language for example “Due dates are like warning signs passing on the ride of a lifetime”. We were surprised when Mrs. Moseley introduced 'POP goes my heart! I thought she didn’t have a v8. I’m a student and I thought we were in for a fun ride. Boy I’m still banged up from shaking my behind too hard. ANYWAY, I think she is going to make us do readers theater just a rumor spreading. But I can’t believe I’m excited for Mondays now.

First Two Weeks!

The first two weeks of school we were learning how to pick out a good book and about the classroom expectations. We had fun learning all those new things.  We also learned to buzz with other students about our ideas. People in some groups had really good ideas. Some other things we did were talk about our reading and if we needed to work on reading or was just right where we were. It was a very fun and tiring first 2 weeks of school!
