October 24, 2011

  • In Math we worked on counting and sorting with Ten-Frames.  Students used Unifix Cubes to create patterns.  Ask them how to make an ABAB, AABB, ABC, ABBA, or an ABCD pattern.
  • In Language Arts we "Word Sweep" down our arm.  We first sound out the beginning, middle, and final consonant sounds of the word, and then we "sweep" the whole word down our arm.  "Characters" in a story tell us who does what in the story.  We will learn more about that and review the "Setting" of a story. 
  • This is the final week to complete your "October Book-It" calendar! Return it back to me for a free personal pan pizza coupon from Pizza Hut.
  • Heart Word of the Week:  "like"
  • Special Themes This Week:  "Bats" and "Spiders"
  • The Pumpkin Centers last week were so much fun!  We took a survey of which one was the best one.  Most liked Scooping Out the Pumpkin.  Others enjoyed Pumpkin Poetry, Pumpkin Sequencing (how the pumpkin grows), Pumpkin Glyph (designing the pumpkin face in a personal way), Pumpkin Stories, and Pumpkin Labels (what parts of the pumpkin are called).
