Mr. Burgess



Today Mr. Burgess came in and talked to our class!!

We learned about what he does.  Did you know that it takes a lot of computers "talking together" to make businesses run?  Well...it does and that is what Mr. Burgess does.  He works with the computers making sure they are communicating properly with one another to run a bunch of hotels. He told us he went to college to learn about how computers communicate  (because...you know they don't talk like you and I)!
Mr. Burgess decided he wanted to be a leader within his business...so he went back to school.  He told  us to be a leader he needed even more education!  I know that there are some GREAT present and future leaders in our classroom!

THANK YOU Mr. Burgess for coming into our class today!  We really enjoyed it!

The DAILY 5

We are really working on our fluency in read with a partner!  The kids are practicing and then using photo booth to record/video themselves. They can then play it back and do a little self assessing.  I noticed lots of students pointing out errors and self correcting! YIPPEEEEE


We are currently working on writing 3 good sentences on topic.  Last week we talked about each sentence had to have the same subject...we picked some "connecting words" (verbs) and then added the details.  This week we started talking about using pronouns and compound predicates to make our writing more interesting!  Some students gave it a go and some still didn't feel 100% comfortable with all of that! HOT DIGGITY DOG we are all great writers!
