Pennies for Patients

Reader's Workshop: Students did a spectacular job with private reading today, using picture clues to help figure out words in the text.

Penmanship: Students were introduced to the letter Rr, we practiced the /r/ sound and listed words that started with the letter R. Students did rainbow tracing and drew objects that started with Rr.

Library: Mrs. Williams read us a modern day variation on Old McDonald story.

Assembly: We had a school wide assembly about our newest Community Service project - Pennies for Patients. A volunteer from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society did an excellent presentation explaining the blood diseases and what students can do to help (raise money). We will be collecting change in our class, and school wide.

Book Fair: We did our walk-through of the Book Fair, students had a chance to look through the wonderful selection of Scholastic books.

Math: Today we created FOUR graphs as a class.
1. Do you like green eggs and ham?
2. Which is your favorite Dr. Seuss book? (Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, Are You My Mother?, One Fish Two Fish)
3. What is your favorite national symbol? (eagle, flag, Statue of Liberty, Mt. Rushmore)
4. Which Jan Brett book did you like the best? (all books we've read)
