Reading Workshop: We will be strengthening our comprehension by learning how to retell a story. We will read and retell story events from some Halloween books.
Writing Workshop: Last week we finished up our Small Moment stories and we will start a new unit next week. This week we will do some fun Halloween writing projects such as describing our costumes, making up some fall tongue twisters, composing some poem and writing a haunted house story with sound effects. Some creepy background music will get us in the mood!
Math: We completed Topic 2 last week and will begin Topic 3 this week. Topic 3 is titled "Working with Time, Length, and Money". This week's topics are: Telling the Time; Showing On the Hour Times; Relating Pennies and Nickels; Relating Pennies, Nickels and Dimes; and Counting On to Add.
Halloween: I know that Halloween is next week, but I thought you'd like to know our plans. I am telling the kids to dress in Halloween colors (black & orange) for fun. We are NOT doing costumes. Instead of wearing costumes we will watch the K parade in the morning.
In the afternoon we will have a movie party in the classroom. The class will vote on which movie to watch. We will enjoy the movie with some popcorn (Martin Family), juice boxes (Peck Family) and some fruit snacks (Chandler Family). Thank you in advance to these three families for stocking our 'snack bar'.
