Week of December 11th

What we have learned and worked on throughout the week...


Traveling Book Bag:
The kids seem to be loving the Traveling Book Bag and I hope you are too!  They sign up for a date to bring the Traveling book bag home.  Then when it is their day they get to choose three of their favorite books that we have read in class to bring home and share with you!


Centers:
We love working together in groups whether we are writing, reading, making art, etc!

This week we had our Digital Integration Specialist Lisa Knoche come into our classroom to introduce coding to the students.  They got to play the game Kodable and all of the kids LOVED it!

Social Studies: I can identify the difference between wants and needs.

Week of November 27th

What we have learned and worked on throughout the week...


Writing Workshop:
The two days before Thanksgiving break we took the time to celebrate the growth that we have made as writers so far.  The kids have worked so hard and have already grown so much!  They got to choose their favorite piece of writing to share part of with the whole class and then the whole thing with a small group.  During this time the students all had the opportunity to share the work that they were most proud of, compliment the work of their friends and celebrate with a sweet treat!  We are now moving on to writing narrative stories.
