Hi Everyone,
Today was the first day of October! We made it through the first month of school! :)
Highlights of our Day:
- For eye opener today we worked on solving addition word problems
- In writing, we worked on finishing our paragraph of the week. Today we put all the pieces of our paragraph, that we have been working on all week together. We started with our topic sentence, then we added our three details with their explanations and finally finished our paragraph with our closing sentence to give us our descriptive paragraph about Autumn. You can check out some of the finished paragraphs below.
- In music we continued to work on learning the vaues of music notes
- We did one round of guided reading today. While one group read with Ms. Hill, the rest of the class worked on reading social studies vocabulary and matching it to its definition.
- In math today we completed our October calendar and answered questions in relation to the calendar. We also introduced increasing/decreasing patterns and had a chance to experiment making our own increasing/decreasing patterns with cubes.
- We continued our read aloud of "SuperFudge"
- In PE today we continued to work on our running skills and wrapped up our running unit.
- In social studies we continued with our closer look of the grasslands and had time to finish up our Grasslands page from Tuesday
Reminders:
- Students were sent home on Monday with a small homework assignment to help us start our science unit on "Waste in Our World". We are asking you to keep track of your trash, composte and recycling over the next week. We will then use the information to make a graph. This home work is due back on Monday October 5th.
- We will be moving away from the blog and started to put updates from the day onto the stream in our Google Classroom. This week I will be posted in both the blog and classroom, starting next week all updates about what we do in class will be in our Google Classroom so that all information is in one place .
- Friday October 9th-PD Day. No school
- Monday October 12th- Thanksgiving. No school
