Thinking Maps Thursday!

Ahhh I am ready for Friday.  I feel like I just did report cards and now we have conferences next week. YIKES!! The year is going by so fast. This post will share with you some of the things we are thinking about in KC.


Shapes 

{Circle Maps}
The kids worked in small groups of 2/3 kids. The paper is 12 by 12. I wanted it to be a manageable size. I plan to put these together into a book.

Draw and Label

            This connects to our little Draw in Label books here
Writing Workshop
{Flow Map}


 We used this thinking map before we wrote our nonfiction personal narrative stories. The boxes have time order words to help student record what their friend does in a day. 


Chapter Book
{Flow Map}
We are working on making mental images when listening to  Ivy and Bean.  This is a great way to retell what is happening in the story.
