Learn and Serve Five

Today at learn and serve student to a assmbly to hear the author Peggy Thomas speak. Mrs. Thomas wrote the book the "Snow Dance" and read it to them. The student enjoyed hearing the book. At the end she taught the students the snow dance that the little girl in the book did. Next the student got an suprised visit from Sabretooth the mascot for the Buffalo Sabres. He came to visit the student to congradulate them on finishing there summer reading. They will be recieving a gift from the Sabres for completling there reading. Once we got back to the classroom Mrs. Johnson and i had planned that i would read a book to the student she gave me a book a i read it before i was to read it to them. While i was doing this Mrs. Johnson got the student started on working with long e and short e. The students did work out of the workbooks. What the students had to figure out whether the world that they had and the picture that they had had a long e or a short e in it. I went around with Mrs. Johnson to help make sure that the student were putting the words and the pictures in the right spot. Finally i read the book to the students called "Something from Nothing". This book was about a little boy who was giving a specail blanket from his grandfather and as he grew older and the blanket did. His grandfather we make something out of the material that was okay to us. At the end of the story you learn that you cant make something from nothing. As you look at the picture in the book it is a story in the a story. The is picture underth the words with mice who use the fabric that is cut off each time the grandfather makes something new. Showing that the things that the grandfather could not use was made out of something for the mice. The students in the class really like the story. Mrs. Johnson told me i did a great job explaine to the students what was going on in the book.
