Hello families,
This week the Fox Kits reviewed and practiced how to show HEART in the classroom. Since I was gone for a while it was good to review our expectations so all can do their best work.
We read a few more opinion themed read alouds: I Want a Cat, Some Pets, Boss for a Day, and Boss for a Week. We also read a book, The Interrupting Chicken, just for fun!
We also wrote about my collection of fox toys. Students wrote about which was their favorite and why, using superlatives to compare (i.e. I like the floppy fox because it's cuter than the sitting fox). They had fun giving out "blue ribbons" to the best foxes, "red ribbons" to the second best foxes, and "yellow ribbons" to the third best foxes. It was fun to share our opinions with each other.
We worked hard practicing telling time on analog and digital clocks to whole and half hours. Many students were ready to go ahead and tell time in 5 minute increments! We had an assessment on Wednesday to wrap up this mini-unit.
On Thursday and Friday Ms. Kate and I got to meet with most of you to discuss your child's progress and what we're seeing in school. Thanks so much for making the time to come talk to us. This is a team effort and teachers do our best when we have good communication and support from families!
