We are trying to get back on our reading journey across the United States.  In honor of Black History Month, we visited Alabama and read Preaching to the Chickens, by Jabari Asim and beautifully illustrated by E.B. White.  This is a story of civil rights leader John Lewis' early life on a farm in Alabama.  We talked about how John Lewis grew up to become a civil rights leader and member of the House of Representatives later in his life.  I forgot to give them the postcard before they went home so I'll send it home Monday.  We also talked about Huntsville, Alabama.  We studied the photographs, and as I expected with this group, they shared a lot of knowledge they have about space and rockets.  We took some time to watch Apollo 11 land on the moon.  This group is so interested in space and rockets!
We worked together to write a page for our animal shelter information text they are writing.  We included a bold print word and labels on our picture.  I modeled for the students and gave them three words they could copy from the board to help move them along.  We will work more on the text next week.
In math we worked with equal sets.  We didn't get far because our writing ran long, so we will need to make that up next Monday!  
Have a great weekend!
