Bad Case of Stripes

      This week we have been using Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon as our mentor text.  Which means, we have been using this story as a spring board for lots of learning activities.   Ask your student what happens to poor Camilla and how she was cured.  If your child has never tasted lima beans, try this week.  Camilla Cream LOVED them maybe he/she will too.

     We described Camilla, learned new vocabulary words, made lima bean abc order books, learned about summaries and even drew Camilla in a lesson!  Lots of activities and games. SUPER FUN

     We read another cool story titled Daddy, Can I have an Elephant?  In this story Tony asked for some crazy pets.  

     The students played a dice game enriching reading fluency, a rhyming game and arranged some beach theme words into sentences.  One of them was TRICKY!

     If you haven't logged into Edline yet, you are missing out on some first day of school photos.  You have to turn you head because I couldn't (didn't have the time to) figure out how to spin them.  It's on my "to do" list.  Which pretty much means it may or may not ever get fixed.  YIKES
