Gobble, gobble!

We have been having a great time learning all about turkeys this week. Ask your child to tell you some of the interesting things we have learned about these fascinating birds. 

Today we had fun painting our own colorful turkeys. 

Reading

During our Reader's Workshop we have a lot going on in the classroom. Kids are reading independently or with a buddy, working on Lexia,  practicing handwriting, working on spelling skills, participating in a reading group with me or working on a book project. There are lots of opportunities for the kids to practice their reading skills!

Reading with someone is a new favorite part of our Reading Workshop. 

Projects related to books we read during reading group are a great way to share what they have learned or to strengthen comprehension skills. Here a group is working on posters about ocean animals. 

Halloween!

We had a great day on Friday celebrating Halloween! All the kids looked fantastic in their costumes. 

We also had Pete the Cat visit our room to tell a Halloween story and to read a favorite book, Room on the Broom. Thanks, Marie! 

In the afternoon we had some delicious treats made by Robyn, Zoie and Andrea. We also had a healthy snack, ghost bananas, sent in by Julia. Thank you all for your contributions! 

What a fun day!
