Wacky Week: Day 1

Today was our first minimum day of the week..

We started our morning with a new calendar: OCTOBER
In Reader's Workshop today, children were finally able to start into the private reading portion of our program, choosing their own books, and reading them independently. Our mini lesson centered around how to choose a book (looking at the cover, thumbing through the pages) and how to return a book to the box where you got it. The students did an excellent job sharing with one another.

In Social Studies, we read a big book of Goldilocks and Three Bears and discussed Goldilocks and how she was a character. We talked about the events of the story that she was involved in and her intentions.

After recess we had Hearing Screening, children were asked to respond when they heard beeps in their ears. We then went back to class and worked on our "Yum Yuck" Apple Book until Library. This book is a class project which we completed today, children worked in small groups to tear construction paper and collage the apple illustrations. (pictures to follow)

During Library today, children had the chance to check out a library book. These books will be kept in the classroom and returned next Monday. After children have gotten into the routine of borrowing and returning books, they will be given the chance to take the books home with them.

DON'T FORGET, Scholastic Book Orders are due by Friday, October 5th! (Take advantage, there's great books in there at great prices)
