Congratulations to us for winning the Golden Keyboard for the week of October 12-15! We were presented with the Golden Keyboard from Mrs. Jackson at Good Morning Boals on the 15th for working expecially hard in computers. Hats off to the 'Pokes for another Golden Recognition!
Thanks to Caden's mom for taking pictures at our Safety Town Field Trip. We had so much fun and Mrs. Bailey-Cantu took some great pictures.
In the classroom:
In Readers' Workshop we are in the midst of an author study. We have been reading and discussing books by Kevin Henkes like Chrysanthemum, Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, and Weekend with Wendell. This is a three week study that will conclude next week. We've added "This reminds me of..." to our list of readers' responses.
In Writers' Workshop we continue to use the writing process to write authentic stories. We have been focusing a lot on the revising part, using peer conferences to add details and make changes to our drafts.
In Math we have been working copiously on Fact Families. These are a doozy to a six-year-old! It's a great idea to work on these in a concrete way at home. For example, pull three forks and two spoons. Talk about how three forks and two spoons makes five, two spoons and three forks make five, five take away three forks is two, and five take away two spoons is three.
In Science we have been talking about the contributions of Thomas Edison and expanding our knowledge of light sources.
REMINDER: When report cards come home, please sign the envelope and return the ENVELOPE ONLY! The report card is yours to keep.
Happy Trails!
