We got to choose our own topic to write about in our journals today.  Some chose non-fiction writing, others chose personal narratives, and some wrote fiction stories.  It was fun to listen to them all!  Then, we re-read our story The Emperor's Egg in small groups.  We wrote down three facts about penguins to use later this week for a non-fiction paragraph.  Then, we went to the library.  Afterwards, we had centers/guided reading.  We then learned how to address an envelope.  We are sending letters to Washington, D.C. to request information to help with our research projects.  So far our posters are turning out great!  This afternoon, we worked on our posters for about an hour with our group partners.  In math, we did some problem solving using a table and skip-counting to get our answers.  Students have one page of math homework.
