Bear is a Bear

 Welcome back to school!  We were all so excited to be back together again.  

Our mentor text this week for writing is 'Bear is a Bear', the simple story of a favourite toy and the girl who grows up loving him.  We talked about our favourite toys and the anchor line that appears over and over in the story, "Bear is a bear full of love."  Writers will plan their own story about a favourite toy and write this week using an anchor line.  Anchor lines help make the story interesting for our readers.

In math we were drawing and writing about 3-D objects in our math journals so we have the information we need to do some comparing.

Our work around questioning continues - today we were asking questions about the story, "The Wednesday Surprise."  Good readers ask questions before, during and after reading.  Good questions help us to think beyond the story and are not necessarily answered in the book.  We found out that most of our questions were pretty quick, and right there in the story.  We will aim tomorrow for questions that are deeper and thicker and not answered right there on the page.
