Week of October 13 and October 20

We had a dance party as a paws points celebration!

We worked on editing and revising our writing! Students used pens to edit and add to their work.

We have been looking for exampls of author's craft or moves that authors do to make their writing better.  We have explored a number of different books to find these craft moves. Students are now trying out these moves in their own writing.

We painted and published our butterfly life cycle book.  Mrs. Dana's class read our book, and they loved it.  Students used the app Book Creator to record their voices reading the page that they created.

 We watched an episode of Wild Kratts about the life cycle of a frog.

Students used an app called Mandalar.  They learned and practiced the app during math menu.  Today, students created a design and then challenged a classmate to build it out of real pattern blocks.  It was so much fun!

We have been using the website www.abcya.com during math menu.  Students have had a chance to explore different games on the website.  We have tried Fuzz Bugs, Marble Math, Counting Fish, and Numerical order.
