Mystery Reader

We had our first Mystery Readers today!  QC was happily surprised when her mom, grandfather, and grandmother came dressed as a witch!

Roll and Record

We used dice to practice our mental math. Our strategy is to "lock" the larger number in our heads and then "count on". 

STAR Books Begin

STAR (Students Together Are Responding) books are used to open up the conversation at home about friendship issues. 

There are three books that will circulate throughout the school year. Jungle Bullies is the first book this year. 

Word Work

We started our word work groups today! 

Today's activity was called "Picture Dictionary". Students had to read and write the words and then illustrate to show the meaning of the word. 

September Pep Rally

We had our first pep rally for the month of September. Congratulations to RM and PO for being great examples to all of us!

Editing

In Writing Workshop we will be using fancy RED pens to edit or "fix up" our Small Moments stories. Today we reread our stories to look for names to capitalize. 

Apple Day!

We had a lot of fun learning about how apples are grown and picked. We also learned about American folk legend, Johnny Appleseed. We ended the day by sampling some apple treats!
