How to Make Polar Bear Biscuits:

 

First, you need 2 refrigerator biscuits.  

 

Next, flatten one of the biscuits to make the face, and split the other biscuit in half.

Roll on of the halves to make the snout.

With the other half, make 2 balls for the ears.

 

Then, make eyes and a nose with the m&ms.

 

Finally, after the biscuits bake, sprinkle them with powdered sugar!

 

 

 

This week, as we continued to look at non-fiction writing, we tried our hand at procedural or

"how- to" writing.

Read to Someone

We begin each morning right here.  After we finish our Morning Meeting, we make our plans for reading.  Usually, we start with a mini-lesson.  This gives us a chance to take a look at

 a mentor text, discuss a strategy that good readers can use or just enjoy a good story.  Then, we think about which of our daily literacy activities would help us to reach our reading goals.  One of these choices is "Read to Someone".  Reading to Someone helps us improve our comprehension and fluency, and it is fun!



Read to Self

We begin everyday with literacy activites that help us to become "strong readers who love to read".   We practice each activity until we become independent and then we work to increase our stamina.

Read to Self is the first reading activity we practiced.  We've learned to choose "good fit" books, and read each day to improve comprehension.
