Week 25

THINGS TO TALK ABOUT OR ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT THEIR LEARNING AT SCHOOL THIS WEEK…..

 

 

·       The IB word of the week is KNOWLEDGEABLE:  How does your child explore concepts and ideas that are of local a global significance?

 

·       “How to Writing” – Celebrate your child’s “How To” books. Your child’s writing has come so far!

  

·       Compound Words – Compound words are two words put together to make one word.  What compound words can your child come up with?

 

·       We read the book, Journey by: Aaron Becker. This book is a 2014 Caldecott Honor Book. The book has no words and only pictures. It follows the adventures of a young girl who escapes the boredom of home to find a magical realm – in which she can control her destiny with her imagination. In class we discussed how authors can publish books without words and still convey so much meaning and imagination.  Some students develop writing skills at a faster or slower rate than others and that is okay. Students can still publish class books with pictures.
If you don’t have this book at home please check it out at the library or consider purchasing. This book leaves so much to the student’s imagination and had them talking about the book all week.
