Fabulous Friday!


Thank you, Alisha, for reading Thank You Amelia Bedelia! It was so funny and you did a fantastic job with voice inflection! What fluency! I videotaped Alisha reading and I'll try and get that up this weekend.

We began the day with Art and our enrichment times with our 1st and 2nd grade ELL students. We then read An Ordinary School Day that became extraordinary and how we could write a book like this. We worked on our slice of life stories before we began our Pilgrim Social Studies Unit.

We first opened our mental filing cabinents about what we knew about the pilgrims already. Then we watched a video about the Pilgrims, how they came to America, and what it was like the first winter. Then we wrote down our new learning. We'll continue working on the Pilgrims until Thanksgiving Break.

Reserve Nov. 21 at 1:00 on your calendars. We will be having a Readers' Theater production of the ABC's of Thanksgiving and you are all invited to attend.

During math, we created a bar graph of our blog question from last week. Be sure, as part of their homefun, that they answer the blog survey question!

Then, 2nd graders worked on telling time to the 5 minute interval and 1st graders worked on patterns on the number grid.

I will not be here Monday as I have a meeting to attend at district office. Remind your child that they will have a guest teacher and the rules haven't changed!
