Oct. 29th-Nov. 2

Halloween is always a fun week.  Wednesday was dedicated  to Halloween Projects.  We read Halloween stories and sang songs. We painted scarey faces with chalk and white paint and we did Halloween math.   We counted 100 pumpkin seeds each and then counted them by two's and then tens.  When we had them grouped in tens the children each got a skittel.  When they had 10 skittels they got a pumpkin marshmellow.  The pumpkin seed represented ones, the skittles represented tens, and the marsmellow represented 100.  We finished our odd and even work and are going to take our test on Monday.

We started to learn our November songs and poems that we use in our stations.  And we drew pictures of the beginning middel and end of our guided reading books.  On Thursday each student wrote their own summary using the pictures they drew.  They did not have quesitions to follow and they had to use their pictures to guide them.  I was impressed by the results and I see we still have things to learn.

We read a story on the moon and took notes.  Then we copied the notes into our moon journals.  On Friday we made a diagram of the moon.
