Week 20: Ecologists, Habitats, Narratives, & Parts of Speech!

We have had an amazing week! I am beaming with pride in these little geniuses! We have been learning so many new "college words" and applying them to our content investigations... here are some examples: 

The students are very enthusiastic about Ecologists! They have been quick to identify the roles and responsibilities of an ecologists while taking on these roles as we take a deeper look into the forest!
We love singing about ecologists as much as we love learning what kinds of tools they use and more! 


In writing we are working with transitional words (first, next, then, last... etc.) while we write retelling narratives. I am so impressed with how far these little authors have come!

This is referred to as a "Narrative Input Chart"... I use this strategy to bring the stories alive to the children so they may enjoy the message and have a more personal connection to the characters and setting within a story. They absolutely enjoy this method of "storytelling"! We love reading books by Jan Brett!
