Just a brief post to show off all we are thankful for! Thanks to Kelly, Wesam, and Mary for planning a Thanksgiving craft! I feel like I have a few strengths as a teacher... planning and carrying out holiday crafts is not one of them. Thanks to the ladies that always have my back!

Was everyone ready for snow? I sure was not! When we leave for Thanksgiving break we will have completed 54 days of school (That's 5 tens and 4 ones, for those who are counting!) Time flies!
In November we have been focusing on non-fiction text during our literature group. We have been reading a non-fiction book about an animal and then using a graphic organizer to write facts about the animal. Then we take the graphic organizer to write sentences. You will see those come home in written paragraph form and also typed on Seesaw. We have read about penguins and the arctic fox so far. I was able to tie in last month's social studies unit and we located both the north pole (where arctic foxes live) and the south pole (where penguins live). We should have time to learn about one more animal in November before switching back to fiction text in December. Enjoy some photos of the last couple weeks! We are having fun and we are learning! Hello everyone! I have lots of pictures to share this week as there was lots of fun happening! We loved seeing everyone's costumes this year and the kids had fun and treats at their classroom parties. There was a large group of Wines teachers who dressed up as crayons this year and our classroom team participated in that. On Friday, we went to Greenhills School. The kids explored the school with their Greenhills buddies and enjoyed balloon animals, a petting zoo, magic show, carnival games, cake walk, and free time in the gym. It's a fun event full of old friends and new friends! Outside of that, some teaching and learning was also going on! We finished up our October graph of Halloween and each of the kids made their own version of the graph. Some of the kids had time to post and write about their graphs on Seesaw. We finished up our social studies unit on the cardinal directions and map. Look for those workbooks to come home. There are some blank pages in the workbooks that can be used for review or practice over the summer. We are retuning to science in November and talking about characteristics of living things.
