Weeks of November 1 – 12, 2010

In the past two weeks, we have been busy in and out of the classroom. Our efforts to raise money for the homeless were rewarded with a beautiful day for our walk around the field. We walk through the Courtyard Garden as much as possible to see what we can find and you’ll see our latest discovery below. We finished up our science unit with our own inventions and started our Social Studies unit on “Past, Present, and Future.” In Writing Workshop we prepared our “Small Moments” story for publication and in Reading Workshop we are enjoying reading a variety of books and adding new sight words to our Word Wall. We are getting lots of practice with subtraction using games on our iPads and iTouches in addition to our workbook and games from our Investigations curriculum. We have mastered addition facts to six and will move on to sums to nine.
