Schema By: Mrs. Hall

Research says that the most proficient readers activate their schema before, during, and after reading... 

 


 I believe that readers who activate their prior knowledge get PUMPED up before and during their reading.  Every time I challenge my students to think, talk, or write about their prior knowledge, they are much more excited to read their books!  Their curiosity is sparked.  Their minds are in gear...and their brain begins to automatically ask and answer questions during their reading.   I encourage you, at home, to challenge your students to activate their "Schema Files"!

Shared Writing By: Mrs. Hall

We just wrapped up "Small Moments" and our "I'm"books...next we venture into another author study.

However, this week, we are taking three days to focus on using complete sentences to help our reader visualize the text.  We are also taking this week to be accountable to our peers for writing FULL and COMPLETE sentences.  We have a lot of great things going on as writers, and for this, we celebrate! 

We also understand that we have a lot of great work to do in the area of writing stories that incorporate writing elements that help us clearly communicate our story to our readers.  Be waiting for the shared writing projects...

A Small Moment By: Mrs. Hall

A sweet blessing from today.  So thankful for my students and their parents...

It was hot, and the smell was unpleasant.  My fifteen year old attitude was in full bloom.  Not to mention my comfort level amidst the scene of elderly sick people was at the point of alarm.  I felt very uncomfortable.  There I was, in the middle of Oklahoma, in a nursing home with my sweet aunt and grandma visiting my Aunt Mildred on her death bed.  The sound of beeping machinery and alarms were present filling my mind with forebodings of what I could witness that day.  From across the room my aunt mouthed the words “Go get your cd and sing to her”.  I couldn’t believe my aunt’s request.  Her face was something not to argue.  She was kind, but stubborn, and what she wanted, she got.  I nodded and walked out the doors and out into the Oklahoma air that hit me like a brick and got my cd.  I then walked back into the tension filled room…and began singing.  The music melted the tension and suddenly breathed life into my own reluctant spirit.  I’ll never for that day, that moment when I took my sweet Aunt Mildred to another place far from the dreariness of the present.

The posts to follow are of a moment  in time that stood out in my student's minds.  Some moments are really funny and some of them hit straight to the point and will leave you with a bit of understanding of their life.    Welcome to our class of "Small Moments"...

Design Contest Winners By: Mrs. Hall

I remember, as a student in Elementary School and throughout Middle and High School, wondering WHY I had to learn certain subjects.  I often still ask that question during different times in my life... I wonder WHY?  The question WHY?  can be haunting and distracting, so in order to help my understand the WHY?  I often attempt to provide them a real-world answer. 

Which brings me to our Math Project last week... A Design Project.  Last week we discussed perimeter, and geometrical shapes.  We discussed how real world designers use these terms when designing buildings, homes, and even amusement parks.  We decided to then put our design skills to the test.  The pictures are our classroom design winners.  What fun it would be to see their designs one day in real form...

Imagination By: Mrs. Hall's Classroom

Yesterday, Pastor J came to our classroom to tell us stories with the help of his puppets, Oreo and Zoe...and let's not forget "Pete" the invisible flea.  

Some Lessons Learned:

Our imagination can help us create puppets and other scenarios to keep us entertained.

Our imagination can help us, as readers, better visualize text.

Our imagination can help us, as writers, tell stories.

A tree well-rooted and nourished, flourishes and stands strong. 

We say thank-you to him for taking the time to tell us some great stories, and helping to kick-off our visualization unit!
