Our Little Pumpkins & Other Monday Fun

Monday, October 17, 2016
Today we read 5 little pumpkins.  We made paper collage pumpkins.  We talked about what shapes we could use to create our pumpkin.  Then we drew the shapes, cut them out and glued together our pumpkins.  We wrote our title together to let everyone that walks by know about our work!
(Here we are working on our title for our bulletin board.  We wrote the sentence together and used white boards to follow along.  Each kid got to come up and write one of our letters!)

We learned that writers say words slow and write all the letters that they hear.  After we did our writing, we told our stories to a partner.


On Friday, I sent home our first book order.  This is completely optional.  I found a few papers about how to order in my classroom that didn’t make it into Friday folders.  I have attached the note here in case it may have been your child’s paper that we found.  These will be due on October 24.  





You will see some new star cards.  We are getting much better at following directions so today we added a new star card.  This star card celebrates when students are keeping their voice off at group and remembering to raise their hand before sharing an idea.  Today I gave fewer than I have been.  I am trying to pull back a little as we are becoming better and better at doing our job.  We are working hard to make these habits!  


Don't forget that Wednesday is early release!  We will dismiss at 12:50.  We will eat lunch at our regular time.
