This week we added Wordwork and Listening to Reading to Daily 5. Students also started choosing their own cycles. We are getting a lot accomplished during this time to help improve our reading and writing. The comprehension strategy we have been focusing on this week is Making Connections. When you read with your child you may notice him/her talking about connections that they have made while reading.
On Wednesday we were very lucky to have Barbara Reid come visit. She is the author and illustrator of many fabulous books. We will continue to look at her work in November.
In theme, we are continuing to learn about different ways we can be caring. We read the story called " Have You Filled A Bucket Today?". You might hear your child talking about ways they can be bucket fillers. We also started to talk about kindness and what it means to be kind. We made a classroom kindness quilt that we will be displaying in the hallway.
The week ended with a great Halloween dance. Hallie also brought in some birthday cupcakes for the kids to enjoy. Hopefully they didn't come home too hyper! I'm sure they will all be excited on Monday!
