This morning we started out jumping straight into Reader's Workshop. We used Post Its to mark characters that we found in books that we read independently. In the mini-lesson, we practiced while reading The Three Bears. After completing reading and examinig, we practiced "Going on a Bear Hunt". Afterwards, we did a small math lesson with taking a handful of pattern blocks then finding a creative way to record that data.

During Choice time in the afternoon, students were pulled out to work on a patterning exercise for assessments. We also had art this afternoon where students completed their November self-portrait. (Reminder: these self portraits will be done once per month and bound together at the end of the year. Already the changes are incredible).

After lunch, during Computer Lab, we explored Jumpstart Kindergarten Advanced. This is an extension of the Jumpstart Kindergarten program and children used three of the activities: music, reading, and art.
