Published iMovies
We finally have a website ready with (almost) all of the Literary Essay iMovies on it. I am going to be sharing the website with the class tomorrow. They are going to be able to go on and watch the iMovies that their classmates made (and their own!) and then comment/compliment the different book trailers.
I will send out the directions to get on the website tomorrow with the students. We are hoping that you will be able to go on and watch and comment on the videos as well. They are very proud and excited for their final products!
Eve Bunting Author Study
Over the past few weeks we have been reading picture books by the author Eve Bunting. She writes some really thought provoking books that the kids have really enjoyed reading and listening to. We have also been thinking about the patterns that we notice in the themes and characters in her books.
While listening to and reading her picture books in small groups, they were taking notes so that they could have a discussion about what they were thinking while reading her books. Over the next few days I am hoping that they will be able to use their notes to have some fun and thoughtful discussion about her books!
Eve Bunting has published many books. We have just read a small amount when you look at just how many picture books she has written. These would be great books to check out of the Hudson Public Library and read with your child.
Read In!
On Wednesday we will have a "Read In" during the morning. We will spend the morning reading and being read to by some Mystery Readers! The kids will be able to get comfy by wearing their Pajamas if they would like to on Wednesday.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and a restful vacation!
