You Will Be My Friend! by Peter Brown

This week my class will be enjoying Peter Brown's new book, You Will Be My Friend!

Monday - The introduction will take the knowledge of the students to make a list of what friendship is, especially how to make and keep friends.

Tuesday - The class will work together to make a story map of Lucy's adventure.

Wednesday - Students will practice using transitional words when they are retelling a familiar story.

Thursday - The class will evaluate the story and create a class book review.

Friday - Reader's Theater: Students will act out the story in groups.

Guess who ordered a new pencil sharpener?! Thanks Farley for the suggestion. It's a great little sharpener!

 

I Love My Planner

Only $4.00 from Marshall's. Love the quotes and artwork. Love the size and organization. Can't wait to fill it with thoughts, ideas, and good times.

 

Conference Time!

I'm here in LA at the IB Americas Conference for three days. Here in the PYP Make It Happen session we are learning all about the PYP. Shoot me a comment if you have any questions you want to ask our fab facilitators.

I love the idea of having an annual OLW. I tried out a few...breathe, relax, blah, blah.
I finally landed on grace. Goodwill. Elegance. Mercy. I love all of these things.
Bingo! Grace it is.

Now on to planning my graceful writing lesson for my next observation. Tah!
