So much learning!

The last few days have been jammed packed full of fun! Not only are we getting more used to classroom routines and procedures but we're learning so much. 

We learned the 5 finger rule for picking just right books! Look for a bookmark to come home with your child tomorrow. This will go give you more details about the 5 finger rule.


We have read so many great books together as well. Today we talked about why reading makes us feel good and why we love to read. Some student responses include:

            -It makes us happy! (Crystal)
            -You learn. (Noelle)
            -Books make us smarter. (Alex and Sam)
            -Helps you chill out. (Austin)

We worked so hard during read to self time today! We are building up our read to self stamina! 

We started Writer's Workshop and talked about what writer's do. We started writing little books and will start our first writing genre unit (Small Moments) this week.

In math, we've been focusing a lot on ten frames and how they can help when we count, add and subtract.

Here we are in action!



Read to Self!


Becoming 10 frames pros!


Look for a blog post later this week about book baggies!
