after recess today, I got everyone on the structure for a group shot. I asked them to be their goofy selves. This is such an awesome group of kids!

After the M-Step on Monday, I took the kids out to run around, be loud, and enjoy the sunshine. It was beautiful!
This week during our word study time, we are studying adjectives and how we need to use them in our writing to help our readers picture our setting, characters, and events in our stories that we write. I first read this description: This is Gertrude. She has a head, eyes, a nose, ears, a mouth, a neck, a belly with a bellybutton, arms and legs. Students drew this as I read it. Notice there are no adjectives, so everyone assumed it was a person. Students drew people that looked a lot like these ones. . . I then read them the exact same thing, but this time including adjectives. Here is what I read- This is Gertrude. She has a fat, round head, three humongous blue eyes, a small pointy noise, long curly brown flowing hair, two large hairy ears, a huge smiling red mouth, a long crooked neck, a round belly with two smelly bellybuttons, four short stubby arms, and one muscular leg. Wow! What a difference in the pictures, just by adding adjectives. Adjectives have power! We then read the book called The Bug Book, which is all about what an adjective is.
