Today, after Morning Work Time and Morning Meeting, we read the poster that our new Star of the Week, Isabel B., made (great work, Isabel!).  After reading her poster, we had just a bit of time before we headed up to the Media Center for our time there with Mrs. Hennen.  We used the time to continue our exploration of 3-D shapes -  today we talked about spheres, and developed a working definition of a sphere -  which characteristics make a sphere a sphere.

Then we headed up to Media.  When we got back downstairs, we had Writer's Workshop.  The kids continue to amaze me with their writing - they are up to great things.  Be sure to ask them what they wrote about today.  In the lesson part of the workshop, I taught them about making their writing easier for their readers - including spaces between words, periods and exclamation points, and using nice printing.  

After writing time, it was already time for us to pack up and head home!
