We had a very busy day today! We began the morning comparing differences between maps and globes. The best way to do this was get out our globes and work with them. The purpose was to compare continents and oceans on a map and globe. We also located the equator and prime meridian and discussed how our Earth is divided into four different hemispheres. I thought students did very well! For a more detailed description view our Content Workshop page.

Giving a thumbs up because we know a location! |
When Mrs. Johnson came in she asked the students to decide how our books were organized up to this point. Currently they know we have fiction and nonfiction books. After creating a definition for what we mean by fiction and non-fiction, we gave each student a bin of books to look through. They had to decide if the bin was for fiction or non-fiction books and finally write down 5 books out of that bin they would be interested in reading. Check out the Reading and Writing Workshop tab for more information!

Ohh...Look at this one!!! Checking out the bins! |
