It was great to see all of the hard work that the kids put into their Character Costume Book Report rough drafts. It will be so much fun to see them "in character" on Thursday! We have talked about and will continue to talk about how important it is to practice their speeches. They can have their report in front of them when presenting to the class, but they shouldn't be reading it word for word. If they practice a few times between today and Wednesday night, they will become familiar with their report. I have also explained to the kids that they can practice in front of stuffed animals, a pet, or even the mirror! :)
Last week, we took a trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania. The kids got to see what an assembly line is by being part of one. We talked about the pros and cons about having machines do the work of making Hershey Chocolate over having people doing it. The kids loved being part of an assembly line and having one special job, however, when we started talking about how this would be their job 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, the excitement seemed to go away quickly! They also got to see how Hershey chocolate is made. There are many steps to making delicious chocolate, but it is so worth it!
In writing we continued to work on our seed stories. We are close to finishing our first published piece. A lot of hard work has gone into their personal narratives!
Have a great week!
