We identified the Fall season.

Our eye-hand coordination skills are improving!

We created words with playdo.

We made scarecrow puppets.

We made text-to-text connections with
Fletcher And The Falling Leaves &
Leaf Trouble.

Mr. M. appeared in pirate gear, bearing ice cream treasures!

We used the experience in Writer's Workshop.

Mrs. Platts scored at the Carson-Dellosa sale:
new puzzles!

Week 5: Life On The Farm

Cow GlyphsA glyph tells a story about the creator.
Spots = age of student
Tail Color = favorite milk flavor
Bow = girl
Horns = boy 

We made butter!
A bit of cream, a dash of salt...shake, shake, shake.

We joined the lowercase letters with the uppercase letters.
After our work was checked, we turned over our picture cards.

We visited the writing center to work on our illustrations.

We found many ways to sort the farm animals and dinosaurs.

During Super Centers, a few of us tended to a friend.
In addition to enduring several "tests",
he was prayed over with enthusiasm!

After reading "The Way I Feel", we made silly faces with magazine features.  We practiced tying knots, too!

Week 4: Life On The Farm

We discovered many reasons to support the need to READ!

Mr. J. led the reading station!

We built the sentences, word by word,
and read them to each other.

We used geometric knowledge
 to build designs with pattern blocks.

We collected information about farm animals:
What we know...
What we want to know...

We analyzed data from a tally graph.

We created a graph by rolling an animal picture cube
and colored the results.
