Morning Meeting:
Don't forget you are invited to our morning meeting on Tuesday, November 29. During this time, you will participate in all 4 parts of our morning meeting: greeting, share, activity, and message. Morning meeting is from 8:20-8:45. You are welcome to come in at 8 and  if you would like. Hope to see you there!

Go Noodle:

Go Noodle is a website we use in the classroom for our movement breaks. I sent home info about kids creating their own Go Noodle Champs at home and then we can connect those champs with our school account! In case you missed it, here is what to do:

Go to gonoodle.com/class-code and enter this code: GZDMNF 

Literacy:
Wow! These readers are doing an amazing job! We are working on applying all of our good habits to our reading and helping our reading partners use these habits. I am impressed with what I'm seeing and hearing in the class! Students are helping each other puzzle out words, not just give the answer. They are encourage each other and giving solid feedback. Super work readers!

Math:
The week after vacation  we will be finishing up another math unit. This unit builds on all the concepts of our first unit, which I shared with you at parent/teacher conferences. The mathematicians have been able to make some choices during our learning time to pick activities that help them practice the concepts they feel they need the most work in. The students love all the different games we have been learning! These games provide practice in combinations of 10, teen numbers, addition and subtraction, and finding the bigger quantity.

Thanksgiving:
After reading a book about talking animals, we decided to make our own talking turkeys! Each student designed their own turkey and then made a "talking bubble" to show what the turkey is saying. The students had a lot of fun and worked hard helping each other out.
