The Invisible Boy

     This week flew by.  We started the week by reading The Invisible Boy.  This story starts off very sad, I cried, but it ends happily.  The illustrations in this book are interesting.  Some pictures of Brian are in black and white and some have color.  Ask your student what happens to cause Brian to become more colorful.  We made lots of connections to this story and ourselves. 

     We practiced identifying and fixing sentences that were incomplete.  We know that just because there is a capital at the beginning and punctuation at the end, it does not mean you've made a complete sentence.

     Mrs. Maguire brought in some fun math games for us.  Students have been practicing place value and are very good at it.

     Our class is SUPER lucky to have Mrs. Comiero, a neighborhood grandmother, come every Thursday to read to the children.  She started this week and read a story about a girl who likes something "different" to eat.   This story reminded us of the Invisible Boy.  Ask your child why?  Remember, I'd love to have some dates for "super, secret mystery readers" booked.  Let me know if you're interested.

     In writing, we took our stories and made the beginnings more exciting and changed some ordinary words into WOW words. I'm looking forward to the finished product. 

    Some students "saw" some great "pictures" of students being kind today.  We had lots of fun doing that.
