Today's Activities
Writer's Workshop
Children chose their favorite story to date to publish. They chose a title to represent what their book was mostly about and added the author's name. They also created an illustration to accompany their cover.
Math
*Adding one and 2 more to a given unseen quantity (I put 5 cubes in the can - the children see and count, then I add 1 or 2 more and they must figure out, how many now?)
*Introduction to rectangles and their properties - 4 sides, 4 corners (vertices), opposite sides the same.
*Counting by 1's to 20, recognizing each number in sequence to complete a dot-to-dot
Literacy Centers
*Rereading, "Leaves, Leaves"
*Halloween letter/sound puzzles - matching capital letter to the same capital, capital to lower case, and capital to the correct picture for that letter sound. When letters are correctly placed they create a Halloween picture.
Story/song - "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat"
Special - music with Mrs. Keating and P.E. with Mr. Demerritt
Volunteers: Molly Fox in the AM and Lindsey Kassatly in the PM
Book Buddy time with our first grade buddies.
