Day 5. These Thirdlanders are pretty darned nice. Today they worked on writing in the morning. Some were even revising with green pencils. We read The Name Jar and I mispronounced the main character's name, so I'm going to have to correct that tomorrow. We
talked about Crow Boy and made some sketch notes. We are building our reading stamina. According to the Daily 5 book, the teacher should read as well at the beginning of the year, until the class gets to know the procedures. These kids actually read a lot and are very focused, so I could've probably started reading conferences today, but I decided to keep reading
ZEN TEACHER for one more day. I'm enjoying the heck out of that book. Our calm day had some riotous moments. Case in point. One
Thirdlander spent a considerable time in the restroom. When I asked why, the Thirdlander said, "My butt was exploding! It was almost having spontaneous combustion." Besides this outlier, the day proceeded pretty much as planned.
