Short but Sweet

Thank you to our room parents (and parent volunteers) for a wonderful Halloween party. The kiddos had a blast. Your efforts were greatly appreciated! How great (and creative!) are these costumes!? What a good looking group!




We did get around to a few more things during this crazy week of Halloween and World Series excitement.....


Pippi and a friend partner reading during "Read to Someone"
During Read to Someone children work on fluency, practice applying reading strategies, and build reading stamina
Our class is in charge of creating the slideshow for November's Get Along Gathering.
Our them is Cooperation. These boys are cooperating by drawing a picture for our slideshow
together!
Ways to make 10...we are composing and decomposing numbers to create
multiple combinations for the same number. For example, if you know
5+5=10 you can decompose 5 into 2+3 and determine that 2+3+5=10.
These first graders know their math!
Here a group is working on writing words with short vowel sounds on whiteboards.We have practiced short a, i, and o so far. Don't you just love the little hat!
Mystery Reader! Another great selection of books....this one was Halloween themed. Perfect!




And sharing this week:

Some beautiful sea glass

Black Beard's compass


Hopefully by next week sugar highs will have faded and things will start to return to normal! Don't forget to check out the Reader's Workshop and Mystery Reader calendars if you are interested in volunteering.
