In Art today we started working on landscapes. We are thinking about winter pictures and winter landscapes. We sang a song about landscapes and talked about what background, middleground and foreground mean. Today we started with the back part of our landscapes. We used white, dark blue and light blue to create the back part of our landscape photos.
Next time we will focus on creating the background, middleground and foreground using winter pictures. Ask your child to explain what those art terms means!
Using the AudioBoo iPad app to self-assess our reading fluency.
One strategy we are working on in class is to self-assess our reading fluency. We are trying this with our partners in our literacy centers when we read with someone. We also work on this when reading by ourselves during literacy centers time. We used the AudioBoo app to record ourselves while we read. We listen to the recording and follow the text to see if we read too fast or too slow, to see how we can read unfamiliar words and also to recognize if we've missed any words when reading. Students enjoy this strategy. It is teaching them how to self-assess their own reading while working on their Raz reading.
