Happy Fall!!

The students are SO excited about entering our Fall season! Fall brings activities and units about pumpkins,leaves, acorns, owls, and bats! In October we will  be starting a research project on Bats.....along with the help of Mrs. Landsman, our Librarian. In this project we will combine research and technology to produce our end product. Look for more info to be coming home soon!

The students continue to be extremely enthused about our Daily 5. We are up to 'Read to Self ' for 25 minutes [!!], 'Work on Writing' for 15 minutes, and 'Read to Someone' for 15 minutes. They are SO proud of their hard work!! When we stop our 'Work on Writing' section, the children are so very excited to share what they've written! It's amazing! We've heard some terrific stories. We continue to work on our stamina everyday in all areas [the goal is to be able to reach 20-25 min.in each area.] We will soon be starting 'Word Work".

This week we welcomed 2 SNHU education students who will be working with us for the semester for about 45 min. each week. We will also be having another student join us for a longer period once a week.She will be working with students as needed.The class loves having 'College Kids' in our classroom!

Please take a moment to become a follower of our classroom blog! It's my hope that I will have some 'guest bloggers' soon [aka students!]. Come back soon - pictures will soon be posted!!
