Fun Friday!

These are the final copies of our descriptive writing about a friend.  You have already received the web, first draft, writing checklist, and rubric for this writing.  We are learning that there are many steps to writing if you want a well organized passage.  I think the students did a fantastic job! (Remember to click on the photo to enlarge it.)





One of our centers today was a Halloween pop-up book.  We worked on the pop-ups today and will add the story later.

These students are listening to and reading Sherman Crunchley

Students are working independently on several different activities.

We made Halloween treat bags for our party next week.

A student brought in this game that helps us learn our math facts.  We thought it was a lot of fun.

One of our wonderful, caring grandmothers brought us supplies to make Christmas cards for soldiers who won't be home for Christmas.  It is a great way to instill patriotism in our students while brightening the Christmas of a brave soldier.  These are a few things the children wrote: "Thanks for all you do for America." , "Thank you so much for fighting for us." , and "We will think about you at Christmas." 


     We also worked on double digit addition, finished up our SS lessons on community with our Junior Achievement volunteer, learned about the Resurrection, and made Play-doh!  Never a dull moment.
