This week, on Thursday, we celebrated our 50th Day of School by participating in a special rotation. Students had 50 pattern blocks that they made symmetrical patterns, they created 50 shapes on their geoboards, and went on a 50 object hunt where they had to identify the shapes of the objects! It was a great way to review our Geometry and Symmetry unit! We will begin place value this week, working on numbers from 1-999! We'll also work with ordinal numbers, related facts (fact families), and more story problems!
We also had a bit of fall fun creating adjective pumpkins to add to our Fall grammar tree (we already had noun acorns and verb leaves!). I will try to add a picture of that next week! We also read a parody of "Goodnight Moon" called "Goodnight Goon"! We created goons and used adjectives to describe him/her. We also found adjectives that described us and used it in a self-portrait. Also pictured is the trioramas we created for the three types of communities: urban, suburban, and rural!
Next week, we'll celebrate Halloween with a special snack that Wednesday. I know kids will be excited that day, so we'll have some themed math centers that week and activities during the day, as appropriate.
We're also testing for math fact fluency and reading - be ready to see some scores coming home soon! The class is doing a great job with their reading! A letter will come home this week on the math fact fluency program our school is starting.
Happy Fall! I hope you stay dry and not so wind blown as we see what this latest storm will bring us!
