Thanks for your understanding and well wishes while I was out sick Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This big change in routine can be difficult on kids but we all did our best to keep things consistent so the kids could feel good and be successful while I was out. They did a bunch of fun stuff too! It's been good to be back, even if it's just a few days before the weekend. ☺
They read, and reread, a book on the SMARTboard, The Big Orange Splot. We designed our own houses to show things that we care about. We made crayon designs and used watercolors to add the house color. They are hanging up in the hall across from our classroom--check them out! They also did a painting that they took home already--hope you enjoyed it!
We also reread The Feel Good Book by Todd Parr and began a fun writing project, "Me, Myselfie, and I" to write about some of our favorite things. It was great to get to know more about each other and see the kids so excited to share their writing, drawings, and connections!
Finally we read Dream Big Little Pig about a pig who dreams of becoming a star. She tries out a few things before she finds the thing she loves the most. It takes hard work, perseverance, and believing in yourself to make your dreams come true. We reflected on our learning Hopes and Dreams for the year and wrote our friendship Hopes and Dreams as well. I compiled all of our learning and friendship Hopes and Dreams onto a poster.
Here they are:
In math we continued working on story problems, not only with addition (putting together) but now also with subtraction (taking apart). Students continue to improve in organizing and representing their thinking on paper using a representation, and equation, and an answer with a label. We learned how to play a game called In the Dog House. We played it with our St. Mike's buddies who came on Friday.
On Friday something else exciting happened--we filled our Heart Jar again! We'll be dumping them on Tuesday Oct. 3 at 8:45. If you're free come cheer us on! Feel free to join us for our morning meeting as well at 8:30 if you'd like! We celebrated today by having a BONUS RECESS on the big playground!
