Monday Marvels!

Matthew read one of our favorites: The Gingerbread Boy! Great reading, Matthew!



We began the day by brainstorming a list of November words that we could add to our word wall and use in our writing. There are no new word wall words this week because of the short week.

Today we learned how making Text to Self (T-S) connections help us as we read. In the book we read today, Alexander and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, we learned how connections can help us understand a character.

In writing we continue to write small moment stories but stretching out that small moment by telling more.

We had a change in plans in that we went to preview the book fair today. The book fair is open tomorrow to 7:00 if you would like to come in and purchase books with your child. We will go as a class on Friday.

1st graders worked on visual patterns and 2nd graders reviewed the function machine. We worked as a class on math addition strategies, problem solving and number sense.

Nature Dan will be with us all afternoon tomorrow for Life in a Teepee. Should be a LOT of fun....and a LOT of learning!

Have a GREAT night and don't forget to READ....READ....READ!!!
