We had a great morning blessing our animals today! Check out a few pictures in our October classroom picture folder!
During reading this week I introduced literacy circles. We are learning the expectations and practicing each job as a class while reading James and the Giant Peach. So far, we have discussed what it entails to be the "discussion director", "connector", "vocabulary enricher", and "literary luminary". See if your daughter can tell you the job of one of these roles. Eventually, the girls will independently gather in literacy circles and engage in deeper thinking and great conversation throughout the next novel. What better thing to enjoy while reading James and the Giant Peach than a peach smoothie! See below the picture from today:) Girls- If you'd like to make a smoothie at home, you'll blend vanilla Greek yogurt, frozen peaches and peach nectar.
This week we kicked off our Branches of Government Unit!
Graded math assessments will go home next Friday and we will begin a new unit in math on Tuesday. Unit 1 is all about BIG numbers, place value and rounding!
