- Library is on Monday - don't forget your library books
- Homework is now going home on Mondays. Make sure to send it back on Friday.
It's been a busy 2 weeks since my last website update! The class did so well on Halloween! They worked hard all day and I surprised them at the end of the day with zucchini eyeballs! It was a healthy Halloween treat that was also delicious! The kids loved them!
Literacy: We are still thinking about characters and now we are also thinking about the problems and how the character tried to solve the problem.
Books we read this week:
Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, by Kevin Henkes
Chrysanthemum, by Kevin Henkes
Vanishing Pumpkin, by Tony Johnston
Big Pumpkin, by Erika Silverman
Shake dem Halloween Bones, by W. Nicola-Lisa
We love Big Pumpkin! The children will be taking turns bringing home a copy of the book and the CD.
PBL: Project Based Learning
Driving Question: What kind of classroom do we need to help us learn?
We are developing our list of experts and interview questions. We can't wait to start the interviews!
Math:
The students spent this week analyzing story problems and sorting them into addition and subtraction problems. Then they used the appropriate strategies to solve each problem. This week we will be adding a third type of problem!
Diane Polson came in and taught us how important our teeth are to us. She talked about brushing, flossing, and going to the dentist.
Officer Dean came in and talked about Halloween safety. I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!
