Friday Note (10/27/2017)
Math In math, we learned the attributes of shapes. We practiced finding squares, circles, rectangles, triangles, and hexagons around the room. We also learned about some 3D shapes. We talked about cylinders, cones, cubes, and spheres. We will be assessing over these shapes next week.
Language Workshop This week we finished our author study on Mercer Mayer. We read his series of books about finding unusual things in hidden places around the house (There’s a Nightmare in my Closet, There’s Something in my Attic, There’s an Alligator Under my Bed, and There are Monsters Everywhere.) With each book we discussed story elements (characters, setting, and sequence of events).
Writing Workshop Our sight word was “be”. We practiced it by using it in the predictable chart, “For Halloween, I will be ____.”
Word Study We are starting through the alphabet a second time. We are focusing on the sound the letter makes and the correct formation. Our goal is for every student to know all 52 letters and their sounds by Christmas.
Content Workshop We read several Halloween books. On Friday, we had our Halloween Party! Thanks to everyone who helped make our party a big success!
