Today in class 2 groups presented their genre projects. I really liked the presentation Why the sun and the moon live in the sky. They presented this very well I love the costumes, music and little houses. This is the first time I have seen a presentation like this. I believe one year I will do something like this to get the students involved. Loved the pineapple cake!!!! The presentation about recycling was cool and informative. I had the song from the presentation in my head for the whole day!

Here is a book that a student at the elementary school recommended me to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He said this is a awesome book. It must be I tried checking it out at several libraries, but they are on hold as soon as they are checked in. Here is the website http://www.wimpykid.com. I was able to check out this website and learned a little about Jeff Kinney the author. Check it out!

Jennifer Myers read out loud video

The teacher on the video did a great job doing a book walk. She made sure show and explain everything on the verso-page. The teacher also clarified the meaning of text to text connection. Her voice was very animated and soft. there was a word in the video in a different language she made sure to translate in English so the students knew exactly what she was talking about. She stops and ask students questions and allows them to be involve in the read out loud. I like they way she allowed the students to share their predictions with their shoulder partner.

I purchased a children's book this weekend by Barbra Lehman "Museum Trip". This book is the coolest book ever. It is full of colorful pictures. The cool thing about this book is that there are no words. This allows you to use your imagination to make up the story. You may want to check this book out.
