We had a 4 day Author's Study of Van Allsburg with Mrs. Hartnett in the Media Center. She picked three awesome books for us to Compare and Contrast.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Our Reading skill for this week was Generalizing. This is a difficult skill to grasp. We have also been very busy working on meeting our 2nd nine weeks reading goal of 14 books. Just about everyone has been successful. Hopefully, there has been a lot of reading going on this weekend!</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">There has been a lot of laughter during my read-aloud! We started "The World According to Humphrey". It's about a hamster named Humphrey who lives in Rm 26. This novel is very entertaining BUT has an amazing lesson.

It will give us an idea of how well we are prepared for the State Test at the end of February.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Reading, we are working on the skill of Inference. This is an important one to understand as we get into higher level novels. We have had to do quite a bit of inferring during our Read-Aloud, "The Christmas Spurs". </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Math, we have started Division. We have also been working on multiple step word problems.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The parrots were filled with Beauclerc Spirit on Friday with all of our stuffed animals. They were so quiet and well behaved as we took our Benchmark Test! We also had a "Mystery" visitor on Friday. She answered questions and spoke about how actions can tell us about the traits of a character in our writing... but most importantly, she shared some experiences that gave her an opportunity to develop strong character.... remember.... "Strong Character is doing the right thing even when no one else is watching you"!</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">It was another great week for the "Parrots"...</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dhBwdeKIXXA/TtvmG2b7OsI/AAAAAAAARTs/Y5FYZVqX7Yw/s1600/Holiday%2BParrots.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 225px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dhBwdeKIXXA/TtvmG2b7OsI/AAAAAAAARTs/Y5FYZVqX7Yw/s400/Holiday%2BParrots.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682388360224258754" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mrs. G and Mrs. P have some fun holiday activities planned for the week of 12/12.

But unfortunately we have had to say good-bye to Lillian and Kendis. We wish them luck in their new "adventures" but we will miss them.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Reading, we read two short passages and practiced the skill of comparing and contrasting. We did partner reading when we read "Junebug" but the Parrots said they really like it when we all read together! </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Writing, we are discussing "Dialogue" and the conventions used in dialogue. I am impressed with how well they are using those conventions. Today we started a new piece with dialogue.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Math, we made our "Multiples" Book, as we continue to work on multiples and factors.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We finished our unit in Social Studies and are starting our Science Unit on "Matter". Tuesday our room smelled like Fruit Loops as we made posters with the elements of Solids, Liquids, and Gases.... check out our bulletin board in the 4th Grade hallway.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hope you have a great weekend....

When a book is read the students will take an A/R test instead.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Our field trip to the Symphony was great. The parrots were on the best symphony behavior. Thank you Mrs. Laymon for arranging this for us.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Monday we will be having our End of the 9 Weeks Pizza Lunch! All students who read their 7 books and had an A or B in conduct will be eating with Mrs. G and Mrs. P!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We had to say good-bye to Ryan on Thursday...

We contrasted two of our characters, Junebug and Tasha... they are quite different. We have also made many connections between this novel and "Because of Winn Dixie". We have been working on determining what details in a story are important and really help to develop the plot.</span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">In Writing we S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D out similes and also learned about metaphors and how they are different from similes. We had another Writing Craft Play... "The Meta-4 News". Allyssa, Asmir, and Jershod did a great job with their character parts.</span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">In Math we are learning how to "break down" big numbers to make it easier to multiply them. It's so awesome to see the "light bulbs" come on when the kids finally GET IT!</span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">We are back at Social Studies working on learning more interesting facts about our Sunshine State.</span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">On the extra curricular side we had Student Council Elections this morning. Aliyah and Douglas cast our ballots.... we should know the results on Monday morning. </span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Thank you PTA, Coach, and special visitor Mr. Gonzalez for the wonderful Fun Run. It was a beautiful day for our activity. We culminated it by making Get Well cards for Mrs. West and Holiday Cards for our men and women fighting for our freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan. </span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Have a wonderful fall weekend....

Similes... Weathering and More!</span><br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lots of "FUN" learning activities went on in Rm 131 this week.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Our Reading skill for this story is Main Idea and Supporting Details. We talked about how the Main Idea is like the "roof" over a house and the supporting details are the walls supporting it. The new vocabulary was given out and our story is "By the Shores of Silver Lake" by Laura Ingalls Wilder. There are many "old fashioned" words in this story like the word "satchel". It was interesting to read about life in the late 1800's. We also started our new novel, "Junebug and the Reverend". We have already read two chapters and have chosen some of the main characters.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Writing we worked on publishing our second piece. We also added another tool to our Writing Tool Belt. Ask your child about "Similes" and the mystery bag! This next week we will talk about how to S-T-R-E-T-C-H out our similes to enable the reader to get a better "picture" of what we are writing about.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Math we are still working on Arrays, but we discovered how to determine arrays of larger numbers and how they were related to our smaller number. It was awesome to see how the students worked together so well. Way to go Parrots!</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Science was fun and noisy on Thursday. We did an experiment on weathering. We took a sugar cube colored with marker and put it in a jar with table salt or rock salt. Donald was the gentle wind and Djani was the hurricane. It was interesting to see how the salt "weathered" the marker off of the sugar cubes.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hope you have a great weekend.... love you....

Writing "Fun"...</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">It was a busy week in Rm 131... </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Reading we worked on Independent Reading while doing our DRA's. Today I introduced the Reading Strategy of "Visualizing by reading one of my favorite books.... "Runaway Bunny". It sure was a great book to help us understand making "Pictures" in our mind while we read. We will return to reading "Because of Winn Dixie" next week and expect to finish our novel. We will also be starting Partner Reading while Mrs. Gay and I take groups for guided reading.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Math we are getting ready to start Multiplication.... which is just "Arrays".... be on the look out for items that come in arrays...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Science we are beginning to discuss various land forms such as volcanoes. Who would have thought Science could be so interesting.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We really had FUN in Writing this week. We added two more writing crafts to our "Writing Tool Belt"! We discussed how Sensory Details and STRONG Verbs make our writing more "Colorful"! We used our senses and a package of Skittles to write a Super Duper Sensory paragraph. Then today we had a "Strong Verb" Play and made Strong Verb ladders using a Thesaurus. Check out our bulletin board in the hallway outside our classroom....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Congratulations to our STAR Parrot....

We are predicting that she will become an important character in Opal's life. We also continued working on our skill of "Author's Viewpoint". Laptop Day was Friday and we worked on a Destination Success Activity on this skill. This next week we will not do a story in our reading series. We will be working on DRA's which will give us an idea of reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Writing, we have moved on to putting sensory details in our writing.

Our skill for this story is "Author's Viewpoint". We discussed how authors can write from a biased and an unbiased viewpoint. We also are about half way through our novel, "Because of Winn Dixie". This week we started to give out character parts in our novel.

We have been exploring ROCKS.... their formation, characteristics, and types. We did a "jig-saw" activity where we broke into three groups to research each of the three major types of rock, and then shared what we learned with the rest of the class. Then today we each got magnifying glasses and took a "close" look at the three types of rocks and even looked at some we brought in from home. In Room 131....

The theme ties NFL Football and Healthy Habits. We have decided to make Friday's lunch a Tailgate! Mrs. G and Mrs. P are providing all beef hot dogs, nutritious baked beans, chips and drinks. If any parents would like to send in "finger" treats that would be great! Just let us know.</span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1630848530035664811-7607743945926786886?l=peckm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mary Frances Peckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04305308647759708721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630848530035664811.post-36956086893544312582011-09-06T22:11:00.002-04:002011-09-06T22:14:42.658-04:00<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">They're done........</span></b></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TldnDwQEq9Q/TmbSy7Y5lsI/AAAAAAAAPqg/fGeKg7J5DJs/s1600/DownloadedFile.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 249px; height: 202px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TldnDwQEq9Q/TmbSy7Y5lsI/AAAAAAAAPqg/fGeKg7J5DJs/s400/DownloadedFile.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649434554960287426" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Well... the Gaspard/Peck parrots finally filled up the pan with 1 dozen "Good Class Behavior" goodies!

We have accomplished so much in our short amount of time together...</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Math we are still working on Numeration. We are beginning to work on ordering and comparing numbers. This week we are working on the 3 X tables by talking about multiples of 3 on the hundreds chart.</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Writing we are continuing to discuss different types of Engaging Beginnings. Mrs. Peck has modeled some beginnings with hilarious stories about her sister. The parrots are doing a great job of practicing these skills.</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Reading we continued to discuss our strategy of making connections. Mrs. Gay has had some awesome connections to share. Our skill for this week's story is "Story Structure"... what does it take to make a good story... Setting... Character... Plot... and Solution. We have applied this skill to both our selection story and our novel. Yes! we started our novel this week. We are reading "Because of Winn Dixie". The Parrots seem to really enjoy reading a novel together.</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Social Studies we finished this first unit on Florida and took our first test.... the results were out of this world! We also began our first Science Module on "Rocks &amp; Minerals".</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday was "Laptop" Day and we worked on reinforcing our Numeration skills and our Story Structure skills on Destination Success.</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">This Friday was also "Shopping" Day for the Parrots who had sufficient funds in their Bank of Parrot-Dise Account....</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Congratulations to Shakthi for being our STAR Parrot!</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here are some of the pictures of our week.....</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have a wonderful L-O-N-G weekend.....

"Parrot-Dise"! We had such a wonderful week. We started out "Getting to Know" each other with a fun activity. It was amazing to find out how much we had in common and how we were different. </span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Social Studies, we began our Study of "Florida" with our Social Studies News. Even Mrs. G and Mrs. P learned some new facts about Florida. Ask the Parrots what interesting facts they have learned about our state.</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Reading, we talked about our first reading strategy of "Making Connections". "Fly Away Home" was a great example of a Text to World Connection about the homeless. Then all week we were constantly making connections as we read and were read to. We also discussed the different genres of literature. We went on an "hunt" looking for the elements that make non-fiction different from fiction. We started our first Read Aloud novel, "Firegirl"... we have made some great inferences about the character traits of the main character... we can't wait to see if they are correct.</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Writing, we did our baseline Narrative prompt and have begun to talk about different "Engaging Beginnings". We have some unbelievable "Parrot" authors in Rm 131! </span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> In Math we started our Module on Place Value.... we'll be working up to "Millions"! Nothing like hand-on activities to help us grasp the concept!</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We ended our week with a Parrot-Naming contest for the TALKING Parrot Djani gave us... and the winner is... "Chaos! Wonder Why????? We also celebrated Kayla's birthday... thanks for the delicious cupcakes!</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have a wonderful weekend... looking forward to another week together...</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Love you..... Mrs. G &amp; Mrs. P</span> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--xlbYYvsxGw/TlhLnuHqHyI/AAAAAAAAPk4/5SPET33Wy4w/s1600/IMG_4963.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;
