Day 65

So today we went to the library!!! There were only a few friends that forgot their books! Bring them in and we can get those back and maybe check out a new one before the holidays! If you are going to be leaving before the holidays please make sure your child returns his/her library book so that it doesn't get lost in the holiday shuffle!

HOMEWORK:
I will be sending book pages home tomorrow.  Everyone will get 10 pages and a piece of construction paper...remember that this book is being "published" meaning we are writing it for others to read...NEATNESS, staying on topic, and being able to read it...all COUNT!

In reading and writing we have talked about main idea and staying on topic.  In writing we are really stressing spaces between our words so that others can read our writing.  And in math we are working with and within 1-10! This project is going to HIGHLIGHT all that we are learning! I'm so excited!!!

Reading:

We have started to do a short poetry study.  At this time we are listening and enjoying poetry. As we listen we are making a "working" anchor chart...meaning we can change it as our thoughts and ideas change.  Today we said, "Poems...ALWAYS have a main idea or topic and are written by Poets.  Poems...SOMETIMES rhyme, have illustrations, make a shape, are long or short.  

Writing:

Conventions: Top to Bottom, Left to Right and SPACES between words.

Math:

Comparing numbers and sets to 10.  Today we really focused on equal sets and how we know two sets are equal!

Problem Solving:

There were 4 gingerbread men. How many legs were there all together?  WOW...some repeated addition...the ground floor of multiplication!

Science:

Characteristics of the seasons.  

We also celebrated a birthday today!!!

Buckaroo:

Our Buckaroo had a special lunch with a special MOMMY today!

Such sweet girls!!

Have a great evening!
