Isaac is here!
Issac Leif Yancey arrived on Saturday evening at 19:19 (7:19 pm). He was 7 pounds and 11 ounces of cuteness. He might be tall and skinny like his dad because he was 19 inches long. Little Isaac is sleeping and eating well. He slept most of last night. He loves to be held by his mom and dad. He knows our voices already and turns his head when he is sleeping to face us. Isaac also loves to look around and we think he has some sweet baby blue eyes. We are so blessed that he is strong and healthy and Abby is feeling well too. We should get to leave the hospital today. Abby, Isaac, and I can't wait to see you all. Love, Mr. Y

Instructions/Reminders while I'm out...
1st Grade -
The biographies that students are researching can be found on the first grade table.
Writing folders are light blue (with a few pinks). Students need to fill out their writing checklist first (self-assess) then have you look at their work with them.
Students may then research another historical figure or begin working on their product (animoto video, prezi, or video recording on Ipad). Their assignment sheet is on my computer table with the title "Super 3: Be a Biographer!" Each student already has a copy.
2nd Grade - "Weather Watch: A Real-Life Weather Problem"
Assignment Sheets are on my computer table. Students need to record notes in bullet or paragraph form in booklets. You will need to check their notes before they can begin working on their product (prezi or Ipad video recording).
Students need to be paraphrasing as they are researching their weather questions on the websites.
Students are working individually but may share notes/ideas/research with one other person as they work.
Students may need help with the citation maker on ncwiseowl.org to make citations for their products at the end.
3rd, 4th, and 5th -
Students know their assigned seats.
Assignment "Why Biography" will guide their research. I will have explained the assignment to them already and they should have a copy in their booklet.
Students should be taking notes in the format shown on the whiteboard. These notes should be in respond to questions on their assignment sheet. Students can take notes in their booklets.
Students can use computers or Ipad to create their product (prezi, glog, animoto, Ipad video). Students may also make hand-made products such as a trifold.
They need to use their sheet to add citations and evaluate their work if they finish their product.
Their books are on the 4th and 5th grade counters. Websites are on my blog: mrysayshi.blogspot.com
They should not be going to any other websites unless you have viewed it and approved it already.
Students may help other students with their projects if they have finished everything and you have checked it.
