Week of November 2nd-6th

I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Halloween! Here are a few photos from our festivities on Friday. A HUGE thank you to the parents that helped put on costumes and donated their time in the morning! We couldn't have done it without you!

Separating the seeds from the "gunk" inside our pumpkins!  

We loved getting our hands messy with pumpkin insides! Thanks to Ms. Connor's dad for picking all these pumpkins for us!

 I think Chucky is telling us about how gross the pumpkin feels on our hands here!

Check out all of our costumes! Don't we look great?

Group photo! I spy a snake and a soccer player, what else do you see?

Mrs. Stoneking wanted to get a whole school picture after our parade around town.

This Week:

Math: We are beginning Topic 4 on Addition and Subtraction Facts to 12. We are once again splitting up into four groups to work on what we need. 

Reading: Students have started new books in their reading groups. My group is working on reading with expression and non-fiction books. We also are working on parts of a sentence and creating "silly sentences".

Writing: We have been working on writing paragraphs about things we love. This week we will finish our paragraphs and begin publishing them to an app on the iPads. 

Spelling: We have been practicing our spelling words here at school, but please remember to study at home too! Our spelling test will be this Friday.

Read Aloud: November brings us a new Author of the Month! We will be reading books by Laura Numeroff.
