Maniac Magee
We are about two thirds of the way through Maniac and we are enjoying it immensely. Today we learned what polka music sounds like. We also learned how to do the polka. This is Earl Grayson's favorite music. Who is Earl Grayson you ask? Ask your child about Earl. They know.
The music playing is polka music! It is the traditional folk music of Poland.
Here the Peck Polka is practiced
Rashod gets his groove on
Reading is RELAXING!
Matilda and Woody modeling good Partner Reading
Dylan and Savanna bathing in good literature
Who knew that READING could be so much fun!
We began our Guided Reading groups this week. We will be working in these groups 3-4 times a week to strenghten weaknesess and and improve our strong points. Here Mrs. Peck works on using context clues to figure out the meaning of words.
Mr. Liberty was overcome with emotion at the turn of events in Maniac Magee
