We are continuing to add strategies to our Word Detective tool belts. This week we have been focusing on using snap words that we know to help us decode mystery words. Example: If I know the word "out" in a snap, it can help me read the word "about" or "shout."
We started our How-To writing and it is off to a great start! The students are writing step-by-step directions and doing an awesome job using transition words to help with the structure of their writing.
The first graders had a chance to share their How-To Build a Snowman books with their fourth grade buddies and then the first and fourth graders got to create their own snowmen in the game "Roll a Snowman!"
The week ended with an amazing assembly. Chata Addy performed on Friday afternoon and it was a wonderful way to end the week! All of Stephenson was up, dancing and singing in the cafeteria!
