Wrapping up October

Thank you for the donations of time, snacks and creativity!  On Thursday afternoon we played Bingo, raced spiders, made ghosts and snacked on cheese sticks, goldfish, clementines and apple juice!

We finished reading the book titled Pedro by Fran Manushkin. Pedro is a classmate of Katie Woo, one of our previous read-aloud books.
We started reading Stuart Little by E.B. White.  Some of our students have seen the movie, so they are thinking deeply about how the movie and the book are similar and different.  
We learned to use Read Write Google to publish our personal narrative writing pieces.  We also made our title pages.  We will publish and share them this upcoming week.  
We are pictured here as peer editors, reading our pieces to each other and learning to give and receive feedback.  

 

 

 

Here we are scooping beads, counting them and comparing our totals to a benchmark number.  As mathematicians, we are practicing how many more or less. 



We are reading in guided reading groups with shared text.  
We reviewed & practiced the 10 Mindful Movements we learned.
We tie-dyed our t-shirts in Art.
We listened to a presentation by our third graders about UNICEF.
Ms. Amblo is teaching us about the power of our words.  
We are making maps of rooms, neighborhoods and special places for us.
