A Sweet Read

As students munch on fruit snack, I read aloud a portion of a book to them.  By doing this I can model fluent and expressive reading for students and quickly assess their comprehension.  We just finished the book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  What a hit!  We have practiced sequencing events in the story with this cute display.  Mr. Wonka (seen above) is holding the book with each student's summary on the back and the cover illustration on the front.  I am so proud of their hard work!

...Amen!

Wilbur's Boast

During our reading, students loved the story Wilbur's Boast.  As an excerpt from Charlotte's Webb, this story grasped their attention right away!  We used this foldable to make judgments about the characters and their actions.  I found these amazing talking bubble sticky notes that students used to record actions and judgments.     

Matthew 28:20

Beautiful truth!

A Green Thumb

To organize our prefixes, students created prefix trees.  The prefix is written on the trunk of the tree, and the leaves contain the base word with the prefix.  This eye-catching visual is great to help students reference and remember our prefixes!  

Hot 'n Fresh!

Students, or I should say Chefs, were cooking up a storm with pizza fractions!  Students were so excited to make their OWN pizza and layer it with toppings!  What a success!  

Deliciously Describing Adjectives!

Adjectives tell what kind or how many.  Together, we brainstormed adjectives that describe chips such as Doritos, Cheetos, and Lays.  Then students wrote their own adjective on a cutout "chip" and placed it on the chart paper.  Afterwards, we were able to compare and contrast the adjectives that described each chip.  Students were thoroughly engaged with this activity!
