Writer's Workshop-We talked about using a space between words. We also talked about using a period to end our sentence. We practiced using our alphabet chart in our folders to help us spell. Then we had 15 minutes to write independently. We shared our stories in our learning circle. Some of us wrote about our families. Some wrote about Halloween.
Rest Time-We started reading a chapter book together during rest time today. We started reading "Flat Stanely" by Jeff Brown. We read chapters 1 and 2 today. Most of the students were very excited to start a chapter book. Ask your child how Stanley got flat. Ask how Stanely went to California.
Math-We did calendar and our calendar book. We started our November calendar today. We did our family graph as a class and then we made individual graphs to take home. We found out that 8 kids in our class have 4 people in their family. Have them tell you about the rest of our graph.
