Two Weeks In!
After last week’s Mystery Skypes, we began exploring what other classes were doing on Edmodo and Edublog. We also sketch and take notes as Mrs. Hunter reads. One morning, students decorated wooden nickels during the story! We are having great discussions about the characters in this story. Thinking about Dyslexia has created some interesting new understandings, too.

There has been a great deal of excitement in our classroom this week. Sketchnoting is a hit! We love adding new skills to our learning backpacks. Thank you Zeina for creating such a fun activity for the students.
