Hello families and friends,
Today we started off our day working on practicing our read to self skills and building our reading stamina. We got to 14 minutes today! Then we spent some time practicing our read to someone skills. After that, we did some "memory writing". The students got to pick any memory to write about. Ask your child what they chose. Then we had some time to share our work and to learn more about our classmates.
In the afternoon we started our new weather graph for October. It was a cold day today! Then we did our words of the week. For this week they are the numbers "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", and "ten" for all students. Fitting with our story Jolly Olly Octopus, by Tony Mitton, the students had to come up with a picture showing ten different things for our ten different numbers (e.g. one octopus, two turtles, three sea horses, four lobsters, etc.), and then write about what they drew. This was quite a challenge for them! We finished off the day working on catching up on some of the work we have fallen behind on, then the students who finished were able to teach each other some math games.
This Wednesday, October 5th, is Picture Day.
I had put on the Scholastic Order Forms that they are due back next Monday, October 10th. As this coming weekend is a long weekend though (PD Day on Friday, Holiday on Monday), they will be due back by Tuesday, October 11th, instead.
Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
