Pumpkin Carving

We had an awesome time today carving our pumpkins. The students first estiamted how many seeds we would find and then they worked in groups of five to make their jack-o-lanterns. Be sure to check out our video. The students will be able to read most of the words that go with the video. I will send home a printed copy for them to share at home.

Reading Logs

The students were very excited to come home today with their reading log. They each had a zip lock bag with a recording book and a new story. Enjoy your special reading time together.

We had lots of fun today making ten frame flash cards. The students got into groups to quiz each other. Use your cards at home to talk about which numbers are more and less. Ask your child how many empty spaces are on each number. Have them put two cards together and add up the numbers.

Happy Thanksgiving. The students got into the spirit today at our Thanksgiving feast. We all got together in the music room to read our Thanksgiving books, sing and dance. We then headed down to the gym and shared fruits and vegetables and had an excellent feast! What a great way to end the week.
