Weston's story:

Duke Dog got to come home with me.  We went to Amy and Scott's house and played a video game.  He also did homework with me.  Today Duke Dog watched me help my dad stack firewood.  Then I made him a bed.  We had a good day.

Read with Someone

Students have been working hard to improve how they read with a partner during Daily 5. Below are 3 great examples of Read to Someone.

"We share books and sit EEKK. Don't throw books. Sit quiet. I really like read to someone."

Duke dog and Emma

Emma was our first student to take Duke Dog home.

 

Below is her story!  Great job, Emma!

 

I took Duke Dog home with me.  We did homework together.  We went to get my mom so she can come stay the night with us.  Me and Duke Dog came home and ate supper, then we got ready for bed.  We had a very good time together. 

Duke Dog Goes Home with Mrs. Joyce!

 

Room 20 has started their Home-School Writing Connection!  Each student will get to take home our college mascot, "Duke Dog."  Students are asked to write a short story about their time with Duke Dog.  A notebook comes home with Duke to give students ideas of what to write about.  You have 2 days to keep Duke Dog and write a great story!  All stories and a picture will be published on our classroom blog.

 

 

Of course, Mrs. Joyce got to take him home first!  I can't wait to read about Duke's upcoming adventures!  Have fun!

 

 

Mrs. Joyce's children, Meredith and Tanner, had fun decorating their Christmas tree with Duke Dog.  Duke said he'd never decorated a tree before!

After they finished, the kids and Duke pose for a picture!  Meredith wanted to keep Duke with her, but Mrs. Joyce said we had to let him visit with the students of Room 20.



Easy, Smart, Brilliant!

Below is a picture of our Easy, Smart, Brilliant Word Chart.  Yes, the students of room 20 know what these words mean!  Now that we've filled it up, we need to erase and start over! 

Parents, see if your children can tell you some of these words!
