Literacy
Children created the 3rd page for their pumpkin life cycle booklet: "a vine and", adding the word "and" to their page.
Writer's Workshop
*Children continue to practice stretching words to help them identify sounds in words they use to label their pictures Many are using their writing topic cards to help generate new ideas - thank you for your help with this!
Reader's Workshop
*We reviewed all the important behaviors that readers use - reading the whole time, laying the book flat, turning pages by the corners, using a whisper voice, and staying in one place. We also talked about how patterns in books can help us to "read" familiar books.
Math
*Children compared two sets of objects, lining them up in 2 rows (we called them parades!:). They presented their 2 sets to the class, told how many in each group and how many more in the larger group.
*We sang "This Old Man", remembering that each successive number is one more than the last.
Story
We read "Henny Penny", an old story about a chicken that gets bonked by an acorn and gathers animal friends one by one to go and tell the king (that is until they meet Foxy Loxy!).
