We read When Itchy Witchy Sneezes and wrote about something the witch could blow away with her huge sneeze:
During writing, we are composing our own non fiction spider books. We are using features of non fiction in our independent writing...up close pictures, labelling, important facts. We have learned a lot of interesting things about spiders!
During math, we are constructing and interpreting graphs. We read Miss Spider's Tea Party. We then tasted three types of tea...red, blue, and green. The students then figured out a way to organize our information and constructed a graph.
During social studies, we learned about important American Symbols. We learned neat facts about the American flag, The White House, the Liberty Bell, and the bald eagle.
Reminders for the week:
*Thursday and Friday are early dismissal days. The students get out of school at 12:00. We will be eating lunch on these days. I strongly encourage you to send a lunch from home. We will also be going to specials on the half days.
*October 26 is the deadline to order a yearbook. Please see the online Tuesday Folder for more information.
*This week is Red Ribbon Week. Lots of fun activities are in store!
