This morning we were very excited because our Smartboard finally worked! We practiced moving our names for lunch count. Some people found that it was easier to move objects with the stick than with their fingers. Ms. Stern told us that either way was okay. Kevin and Mia were able to do their jobs by themselves today!
Joan’s last day in our class was yesterday. She moved to the Jersey Shore. Isabella switched her seat from the Dragons to the Meteors. Now, each table has 5 children.
We are making a book called All About Us. Everyone has a turn sitting in a chair and holding Teddy. Their job is to answer questions that help to tell about themselves. We are asking lots of “What is your favorite…” questions and also “How many…” questions, too. Ms. Stern quizzed us by asking us to close our eyes and try to remember who she was reading about.
In, P.E. we learned a new game called “Freeze Your Gator Ball.” Kids are playing tricks with balls and when the music is shut off, everyone has to sit down and freeze their ball. If someone touches the ball, they are out for one round and come back after that. Sammy thought it was fun. No one in the whole class got out!
Today, during Writer’s Workshop, we looked back on our green (unfinished) side, and tried to give readers more information by including who, what, when, and where. It was tricky figuring out where we needed to add more. Ms. Stern and Mrs. Barsanti showed us how to include more words using carats. At the end, Kevin shared his writing on the Smartboard. He did a great job adding who, what, and when to his story.
Odds and Ends from Ms. Stern:
-Our trip to Philipsburg Manor has been rescheduled for November 24th.
-Scholastic some incorrect books in the September order. I spoke to them about it and the proper books are on their way. If you did not receive part of your order, please know that they will be arriving next week.
Have a great weekend!
