How was school today?


Have you ever asked your child, "What did you do in school today?" and get a response such as, "Nothing".  We know this can be frustrating.

Well, our current units of study will now be posted on the right.  We hope that this will help get some good discussions started during dinner, breakfast or your walk to or from school.

Reading Workshop


Here are a few peeks into our reading workshop time.  We read independently from our "just right books" and then spend a few minutes sharing our books with our partners.

Apples!

We used apples in our math lessons by charting and sorting the different types of apples we brought to school by color, size and then type.


                                                                          







                     Then we read 10 Apples on Top and created math 
                                 addition problems with apples.




                       Finally, we used the apples to make homemade 
                        applesauce with our families on Family Friday! 
                                    Our room smelled so good!

Fall Harvest

The garden committee brought us out the garden to show us the fall harvest.  We picked some grape tomatoes, smelled some basil, and saw how brussel sprouts grow!  We even brought some harvest up to Ms. Fought's pet rabbit in 5-307.

Roman taking a taste.

Veggies make us smile.

half of our class explored the garden.

We filled up our brownie points tray by getting compliments for our good behavior and made brownies as a reward!!
