Thursday, Oct. 3


What a FANTASTIC Thursday!!!  We had 10 friends all on AMAZING!!  Wow!!  I can't say how much I LOOOVE this class!

LEFT at Home:
  • Overdue Book Slips (white half-sheet)

RIGHT Back to School:
  • Math Homework 1-13 (1-4)
  • Parent Volunteer forms for next week (White for Tuesday, Pink for Wednesday - Friday):  I sent home 3 volunteer forms to parents that I have spoken to about volunteering.  If you would like to volunteer, send me an email and I will send a form home with your child.  I'd be THRILLED to have you join our classroom!
  • Conference Schedule (gold): Send back the bottom portion to let me know if the scheduled time works for you. :)  
Our Day:
  • Joke of the Day: What did the blanket say to the bed?  [Don't worry, I've got you covered.] :D
  • Daily 5:
    So far we have begun Read to Self, Work on Writing, and Read to Someone! 
    • Read to Self: Our stamina is at 17 minutes and 15 seconds today! Spectacular!  Today I brought out the October-themed books, and they are SUPER fun to read.
    • Writing: Our stamina is at 15 minutes and 4 seconds today! 
    • Read to Someone:  Today was our second day of Read to Someone.  We are practicing using our whisper voices when we read to a friend sitting next to us.  Our stamina is at 2 minutes!  We will continue to build our stamina.
  • Art:  We are still working on our self portraits.  They are turning out really great!  We even got a compliment from Mr. Van about being so well-behaved!
  • Math: Unit 1, Lesson 13
    • Today we learned about "Group" story problems.  Most of our story problems had 2 items that were part of a group.  We either had to find the total or a partner.  Be extra careful with these labels.  Reread the question to make sure you have the right label to answer their question.
  • Science:  We finished the video on Reptiles.  Did you know that all reptiles are cold-blooded, have scaly skin, and lay eggs?  What animals can you think of that are in the animal group: Reptiles? 

    For Friday:
  • Early dismissal at 2:15
