Today We:
-searched through our poem, Birds of Prey, to look for rhyming words
-had a word hunt looking in our class and the hallway for words that contain our calm sounds /al/ /all/ /au/ /aw/.
-Continued working with cuisenaire rod, using them to solve problems in our PoWer market
-worked on editing our writing, by rereading our stories and sharing with a peer to get feedback
-Read Country Kid, City Kid, which ties into our discussion or urban and rural
-In our visual journals we created venn diagrams to organize the similarities and differences of urban and rural places.
