TUESDAY!!!!!

 Last week we went of a hunt for R blends!!  We had to take pictures of the r blend and place it inside our camera...then we glued them into our R blends book.  It was so much fun and the kids loved hunting:)
 
 Table 1 got to eat lunch with me last week because they have been on point on using whisper voices during work time!!  I didn't crop one child out he wasn't in our class he was from Mrs. Stacker's class:)
 
 MM was so excited that she was wearing a scarf today....I also had on a scarf and she thought that was cool stuff!
 


These pumpkins are too cute....I am giving you a little teaser so I didn't post pictures of them all cause you have to come and see for yourself on Thursday for Math and Literacy night!

Mystery Reader and Speical Teacher Treat!

 Friday we had Noah's mom as our Mystery reader and she let Noah pick out some of his favorite books so read!  His little sister came, too!  She will be in Kinder next year! 
We love Mystery Reader Friday.  If you haven't signed up we would love to have you:)
 
At the beginning of each month the teachers get a special little gift in our boxes.  This months treat is super cute and looks like a broom stick:)  Aislynn's mom is in charge of all the yummy treats and the teachers really appreciate them:)
 
We are off to a very busy day already.  We are working on R blends this week!  We are also very busy learning how to subtract.  This is a very important skills for the kiddos to learn:)
 
Happy Monday!

Playing Catch Up!!




 Last week our skill that we were learning was Story Elements.  One thing that the kids in the past love to make is a story taco!  This has all of the elements on different colors of paper to represent Title, Characters, Setting and Plot!  This is something fun that you can do with your child after every book:)
 
Book Character Day was a huge success.  I think the kids really enjoyed dressing up and celebrating books!  Getting kids to love to read at an early age is key to life long learning!  I loved to read as a child and still do today!!!  Look at all of these cute firsties!!!

 Since First Graders LOVE Junie B. Jones we thought it would be fun for the first grade teachers to all dress up like a different JUNIE B. book.  Yes we look crazy, but it was fun!
 
 Happy Birthday CONSTANCE!!!  She is 7 today!
 
Today we started writing our SLOPPY COPY that we will edit for our final piece on narratives.  This first narrative is about "Our Special Day"!  I think I have a really great group of writers this year and I can't want to hang their published pieces in the hallways!
