In Daily 5, we launched word work.  This activity provides "students an opportunity to experiment with spelling patterns, memorize high-frequency words, and develop a genuine curiosity for and interest in new and unique words. By playing with words, word patterns, word families, prefixes, suffixes, and so on, students hone their knowledge of words and increase their speaking and writing skills." (Daily 5 website)

Students began a week-long writing project called, Monster in a Jar.  Yesterday they trapped their monsters - some are scary, while others are cuddly. Today they began to plan their writing, answering questions to guide their writing and then turning their answers into sentences.

In the afternoon, we were treated to an Eatrh Ranger Experience!  There are so many ways that we can help the Earth; become an Earth Ranger today!
