What We Did During Our Week:
This week we learned about the letters H and S! Now for Daily 5 I am encouraging the kids to self-assess their work ethic and think about how to become better/smarter learners. So, after each round they circle a smiley face, straight face, or sad face to assess how they did! They ask themselves…”Did I stay in 1 spot? Did I get started right away? Did I work the whole time? Did I keep my eyes on my own work?” They have quickly noticed their work habits and are making adjustments and then seeing how proud they are when they get to circle that smiley face. 🙂
We have finished Math Module 1! Next week they will be taking their end of unit math test and then we will begin Module 2.
Other:
We had so much fun on Halloween! For our party they got to….
- Make a pumpkin craft
- Play BINGO
- Decorate and eat a cookie
- Play Witch’s ring toss
- Decorate a mask
In the afternoon they enjoyed cider and donuts for PBIS, followed by a dance party and then the whole school parade. We also got together with big buddies to share our costumes with.
A note came home about our “tumblebus” field trip. Please fill out and complete with exact cash. This is an in-house field trip so no chaperones are needed.
Parent teacher conferences are the next 2 weeks, a reminder will come home with your time.
Book fair is Monday at noon! You may send your child with money in a labeled bag/envelope or you may accompany them to the book fair at noon on Monday. 🙂 If you attend, please check in at the office and meet us in the media center.
