Happy Thanksgiving from our Classroom to You :)

Magical Classroom Incentive!

Today we shared our PBIS Classroom Incentive with Ms. Cook's first grade class.  We started the incentive by sharing our Reader's Theater.  The princesses read "Cinderella Waiting" and then the princes read "In Search of Cinderella".  After this the students went to their respected tables and began to make their Cinderella Text to Teach Salad.  The building of the salad incorporated what we have been learning in the classroom about story elements.

• • Why is it important for readers/writers to ask questions about key details?
  • How do authors’ choice of words and illustrations help us learn about a topic?
  • How do I share my knowledge about a topic I am interested in with others?
