Our Bird Mental Images

In readers' workshop we have been learning that strong readers make mental images when they read. One of our favorite mental image books was Birds by Kevin Henkes.

Our favorite mental images (movies in our mind!) are below.

Go Cards!

What an exciting week in Annandale! One of the week's highlights was our send off for the boys basketball team on Wednesday afternoon. Instead of just waving to the bus, we were thrilled to see the entire team walking along the sidewalk giving high 5's to all the AES students. What a special Cardinal memory! Here are some pics from the day. Press play and you can click on a picture to zoom in.

Digital Writing Celebration

For our last writing celebration, Miss Martinez helped us publish our books online. We used an app called "Shadow Puppet" to take pictures of our writing and record the narration. In this unit we focused on ellipsis, comeback lines, "show not tell", "many moments" stories, and adding an About the Author page. Check them out by clicking the link below. They really are fantastic!!
