Days of the Week

Pre-K had fun in the Jackson Library when we reviewed the days of the week. We read a fun fold out book, sang the song, and matched the animal with its corresponding day of the week.
Today is Monday
Fourth Grade Reads a Recipe
Posted in nonfiction lesson, and TTESS 1819
Last week in the Jackson Library, fourth graders used critical reading skills when analyzing a recipe for a Snowball Salad. They worked in pairs to answer TEKS-based questions like inference when asked, “Why do you think an adult is needed for Step 1?”
Groundhog Day Fun
Posted in holiday, and picture book lesson
Last week in the Jackson Library, kindergarteners made a fun groundhog puppet and first graders sequenced story events using the book, Mr. Groundhog Wants the Day Off. They read an interactive story about Groundhog Day at the computer station using the Starfall site.
Fifth Grade Analyzes a Biography
Posted in technology, and TTESS 1819
Last week in the Jackson Library, fifth graders analyzed a biography about the pioneer of hip hop music, DJ Kool Herc. After answering STAAR-formatted questions that explored verifiable facts, inferences about finances, and how we can tell Kool Herc was attentive to his audience within the book When The Beat Was Born, the kids used an interactive Google Doodle game, The 44th Anniversary of Hip Hop, to mix their own record using actual instrumental samples from the 70s. Awesome!
