Today, I started off the class by sharing two writing samples from my kindergarten class. I decided to bring in two examples because they were short and they were so different from each other. They were really interesting to observe and reflect on! As a class, we talked about what each student did well on and what they could improve on too.
Then we moved on to talk about the Obama speech and discussed the 6+1 traits. We had a class discussion about what made each part that specific trait. One trait that seemed difficult to find was presentation.
Juanita then asked us to think about two important things: how we communicate with friends and family and what kinds of electronic technology we own. After thinking and discussing these questions, we were placed into groups based on the picture book that we brought in for class. (what trait it portrayed) In these groups, we were to think about how to send a list of our books to the class using technology. (she encouraged us to stay away from email!) This basically led us to the end of class time.
Our homework for Thursday: keep thinking about ways we can send our group's list. We will work on it next time!
GREAT CLASS TODAY! :)
