Tons of learning going on!

 Our Phy-Ed teacher Mr. G showed us this great website to practice various skills using an activity mat. Our first skill we worked on was vowels. It was such a fun interactive way to learn. We are very excited to use these throughout the year! http://www.geomotiontv.com/

We have been working really hard on possessive nouns. We did a possessive noun hunt around the classroom today. They had to read the sentence and decide if the possessive noun was singular or plural and write it the correct way. I have seen some huge improvement this week from everyone! KEEP IT UP!

Our focus in social studies is on landforms. Check out our drawings of the landforms we have learned about! Remember to click on the picture to make them bigger!

Cinnamon Synonym Toast, Inferring, and Graphing Galore!

We have been working really hard on synonyms, inferring, and graphing this week. To get us an exciting start on synonyms we did a fun activity where we created "cinnamon synonym toast"! Each student chose a synonym to write on their toast. Then, we used glitter to make it a cinnamon synonym! It was so much fun to make these!

Another main focus we have this week is learning to INFER! The video below explains this well!

We are just finishing up our unit on graphing. They have been doing absolutely amazing! We did a group activity where we had to make a bar graph by counting thanksgiving pictures. Then we had to tally the information and answer number sentences. I saw some great cooperation during our groups!

Veteran's Day

Monday the 11 is Veteran's Day. We do not have school so we honored Veterans this Thursday and Friday. We discussed what a Veteran is and why they are special. Then, we made soldiers that hold an American Flag. Last, we wrote a word that describes a soldier. Example.... Soldiers are bold. They turned out so nice! Then we learned a fun song to thank the American Soldiers. We posted this song on twitter and our blog. I hope you guys all enjoy! They have such wonderful voices!
