First Week Back! Here we go...!


 
 Ok all,

It's been a great week back and we have accomplished so much!

We are learning how to skip count and my team and I thought it would be great to incorporate authentic literature into our math block on Tuesday.
We read "The Napping House" and then skip counted how many heads, eyes, fingers, and toes were in our families. The students then wrote a paragraph explaining their work! We are always trying to come up with ways to incorporate writing!


 
    
 
 

 
We also prepared for literacy week next week through reading "Leo the Late Bloomer." We discussed how everyone blooms in their own time and how we can set goals to help ourselves bloom. We brainstormed reading goals and also reasons why being a good reader is so important! Then, they all went up on the outside of the door to complete the vision!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So cute! 
 
 

 
We have also finished a cute writing project on hibernation! We read non-fiction and fiction books about hibernation as well as watching Brainpop, and the student created their own story about hibernation. I also took pictures of the students pretending to sleep and attached them to their writing.
It really spiced up the writing!
 
 
     
 
 
 
So proud of them!
 
Looking forward to another great week ahead! Now, off to enjoy the weekend!
