Tuesday, November 8th

A little update since it has been a few days since posting:

Friday:
Art: The children made Indian Corn Projects which are outside of the classroom.  Look at how nice they turned out!




Games!  Thank you to the parents who volunteered. The children enjoy this time learning while playing games!

Monday:
We started our first pen pal letter today.  We wrote about second grade.
Reading Mentors:  The children all love to read and enjoy reading their books with the parents.

Today: ELECTION DAY!

The students started out their day by voting in school.  Each child had to tell the volunteer their name, then they got a ballot and went to vote.  We talked about how it is a responsibility we have as citizens to use our voice to help make decisions.  We also talked about how this is a private election and they do not need to share if they choose not to.









In phonics we are learning about digraphs.  We talked about CH, SH, WH, and PH.  We learned that they make 1 sound.  Then we played Change the Word where the children make new words using blends and digraphs.  Each side of the room played against each other.  The right side of the room won today! Great job using our skills!

Today in math we practiced adding three and four addends.  We talked about different ways to add them.  We could line them all up and add or make multiple addition problems.  Students were able to choose which was worked best for them!

In Gym the children practiced serving over the net in volleyball.

Handwriting:  We had the capital F.  Check out today's All-Stars.



The children learned how to address letters today as we completed our pen pal letters and put them in the mailboxes!



We finished our book, James and the Giant Peach and will begin watching it in class tomorrow!


REMINDERS:
SHOW AND TELL TOMORROW: #16-19
CHAPEL: BRING IN THOSE CANNED PINEAPPLES!
