October Fun!

Here are some Write Around the Room activities that we recently completed. Here we had to search for words and match them with the rhyming pictures on our sheet. 


Here we had to read the ten frames and record the matching number. 

We have been hard at work on our writing!  Here we practiced our spacing with marshmallows!!




We have been practicing our place value skills in a variety of ways, such as using base 10 blocks.


In our interactive notebooks we practiced our double math facts.


We began using our interactive Reading Notebooks last week.  We started out by practicing our rhyming words and the sound of /or/.


We also continue to work on reading and building CVC words.



The class LOVED our new Pin It Center!  We used it practice our spelling words!

October Already!?

We have been having so much fun with all of the wonderful Mo Willems' books!  Below are the Piggie and Elephant puppets that we made.  We used these during Read to Self and Read to Someone time.  The kids had a blast acting out these fun stories!




We also had a lot of fun with our apple activities!  We made apple turnovers!




We also participated in many apple science and math activities.  Each child brought home an interactive apple notebook last week.


During our Math Centers we have been working hard on learning how to add objects and write number sentences.


(We even were allowed to write on the tables!)



We also participated in two National projects.  First off is the Oreo Challenge.  Student estimated how many Oreos they could stack before it toppled over!  They were then given two attempts.  What fun!



Next, was our Letter Exchange!  Our class made MICE for the letter M!  We then each mailed our "letters" to other schools across the country.  In return, we have been receiving the rest of the alphabet from other schools.  We will share all of our letters once they have all arrived!
