Congrats to these fine ladies and gentlemen for being our award winners this week!
Way to go :)

2 weeks worth

I've been behind on blogging lately... I apologize.

But without further adieu... here are our award winners from the past 2 weeks.

STRIKE!

We had a blast today on our first field trip!  We started to learn/practice the facts that make 10 while knocking down the pins.  Remember the better we understand and know the tens facts the better we'll be at other facts!

playing teacher

That was my favorite thing to do as a child.  I always made my brothers play "school" with me... I was the teacher of course. ;)

Our class started  buddy reading with Mrs. Dusenbury's child development class a few weeks ago and it's been a big success.  We play "teacher" and help them with their letters/sounds and read to them.  It's also a review for us and helps to build confidence in our reading skills.  As they get to know each other, both classes are learning some social skills too.  I love watching them interact with each other.  I wouldn't be surprised to see some of my students grow up to be teachers someday.

It's TIME

...for another post about time.  We practiced telling time to the hour last week and will continue this throughout the year.  Here are a few pictures of them working with their partners.

 In writing, we learned to brainstorm with a partner(s).  For this particular writing, they wdescribed something in the classroom using adjectives.  The next day they used their webs and creatived sentences from them.  This week we are going to describe a haunted house... perfect for Halloween.

Wonderful Writers

 In writing and Social Studies, we are learning how people are all unique and different.  The students wrote about their families and then had a chance to share with the class last week.  We are working on neat handwriting, spacing between words, and capitalization and correct punctuation.  Keep it up.... I'm already seeing some great writing!

ta-da!

learning about fire safety

Last Friday couldn't come soon enough!  The kids noticed the firehouse and fire truck outside first thing Monday morning.  We didn't have Guidance until Friday though... which seemed sooo far away.  But when it finally arrived... they were jumpin' with excitement!

The firefighters showed us all the different parts of their uniform and what they look like in full gear.  They told us not to be scared of them if they would come into our homes.  They talked about a family meeting place too.  If you haven't discussed this with your family, this would be a perfect time to do so.
