Hello Families!

In Writing Workshop, we’re focusing on remembering true events that happened to us and stretching that one event into a “small moment” story. After reading The Best Story, we talked about how the best stories come from your own heart. We made lists and drew pictures of people, places, holidays, etc. that will help us remember small moments we can write about.

In Math, we’re working on addition and continuing to build our number sense. We’ve used ten frames, manipulatives, card games and dice games to help us practice our adding skills.

        

       

The Monster March was a success! We all enjoyed dressing up, seeing our friends’ costumes, and parading around the school on Halloween.

         

We continued the Halloween theme by constructing paper pumpkins by cutting and folding ten circles.

 

Then, we made Orange Pumpkin, Orange Pumpkin books. After coloring, gluing, and putting the pages in the correct order, we read our books aloud to a friend.

Enjoy the weekend! J

Ms. Little
