October is in the Air

I can’t believe we are already halfway through October!  The students are working hard every day on their academics and their behavior skills.

Our kindness jar has become a great addition to the classroom.  It boosts the positive morale of the students each day.

Each week we also have a new Leader of the classroom that will help throughout the week.  This is another boost of positive morale and a great chance at learning what a leader does and how to take responsibility with a role.  Students look forward to each Monday to find out who the new Leader is!

Academically we have been diving into rocks and the rock cycle in Science.  Exploring hands on is their favorite way to learn about rocks.  Which there is no better way!  In math we are working on learning a variety of ways to use multiplication and division strategies and to work on memorizing fast facts too.  In Language Arts, we are writing descriptive with using lots of different synonyms and a variety of adjectives to describe our writing piece.  We are also working on inferring as we read a story.
