Literary Pumpkins!

The literary pumpkins were SO CUTE!!  They were all so creative.  Thank you for helping your child with this fun project.
They are now on display in the library for the whole school to enjoy!

In language arts this week, we continued topic writing about spiders.  We worked on many of the non fiction print concepts such as labelling and diagrams for our book.
We also worked on creating mental images (what do you picture in your head while a story is being read).  We created mental images to the poem "My Neighbor's Dog is Purple".  We discussed how your mental image can chage as the story changes.

In math, we worked on graphing.  We constructed a type of graph called a glyph.  A glyph is a pictoral form of data collections. 
In our glyph, we constructed our cat to reflect what type of candy we prefer, if we have a pet cat, and which book we enjoyed most:

We also made a pie graph to show to answer the question "Are you afraid of spiders?"
Our pie was pretty evenly divided:

 





Next week:
*Literary pumpkins will go home on Wednesday.  If you would prefer to come pick up your child's pumpkin, you may do so.  You may go to the library to get it.
*As the weather gets a little cooler, please remember to put your child's name inside their jacket.
