Let's Find Out

Read Aloud: Dinosaurumpus and Rumble in the Jungle
Movement: Old McDonald with a twist - using the animals that were in our book

The Cc Book: We reviewed the letter Cc by creating, coloring, and reading a book which contained things that began with Cc. For example "This is a cup. This is a cookie."

Writer's Workshop: We did our first entry in our Sourcebooks for Writer's Workshop. I modeled drawing a picture and including words about my trip to Chicago. Students were asked to think about a trip or place that they'd gone and were asked to do the same.

Let's Find Out: We finally got the opportunity to enjoy and use the November Let's Find Out magazines. The first was Science based and was about turkeys and how they grow up, then the back asked students to complete and create patterns. The next was History based and was about the life of Pilgrim Children showing what would be different if you were a Pilgrim.

Red Bags: After lunch, students finally had an opportunity to check out Red Mystery Book Bags. These bags will be taken home weekly, and contained great literature for students to enjoy at home. They are an excellent opportunity to practice reading strategies and to dig deeper in their comprehension.

P.E.: Today in P.E. we attempted to complete a relay race similar to the Turkey Trot that was completed at the assembly. This proved to be somewhat challenging with 40 kids, but they were able to practice several locomotor skills including jumping, skipping, and walking backwards.
