We will celebrate Halloween here at school with a Movie Party. We will turn our classroom into a movie theater and set up a snack bar and ticket booth (aka the Welcome Desk). Thank you to LD, AK and KK's families for providing our movie popcorn, drinks and fruit snacks. It should be fun!
We will also be watching the Kindergarten parade in the morning. First graders do not wear full costumes, instead we are going to have Friday be a "hat day". Students can wear any kind of head piece (hat, wig, headbands). This is a way to get into the spirit of Halloween without all of the fuss...that can be saved for the weekend!
We will have our second "Pep Rally" this week where 2 or 3 stuents will receive a Citizen of the Month award.
Math: We are starting Unit 3 which is called "Working with Time, Lenght and Money".
Reading Workshop: We will be enjoying some Halloween stories and written responses. These are fun books to get us in the spirit of the season.
Writing Workshop: We finished our Small Moment stories last week and are looking forward to some Halloween-themed writing this week. We will do some descriptive writing when we describe our costumes. We will use sound effects to add some pizzazz to our haunted house stories. We will also have fun with words and sounds when we write some tongue twisters and poems. We may even listed to some spooky background music to get us in the mood.
