We had a great full day of school! There was a very brief power outage…maybe 5 seconds and the kids handled it like champs!

Today we spent some time writing our own constitution for our class. Ask your child what we did and what a constitution is!

We also began reading instruction. We talked about the THEME of a book and how the theme is “the message” the author wants to leave you with. We then discussed common themes in stories.  We related theme to a bumper sticker on a car. We talked about how bumper stickers are little phrases or messages, short pieces of advice, and themes are like that too! We then read The Recess Queen and discussed the theme. Ask your child if they remember our “bumper sticker” theme for the book.

Here are some photos from our constitution activity.
