Oct. 15

 Hello everyone!

Yesterday, we finished up our "I can..." journals. Today, we looked at some of our journal entries and talked about some of the things we could see. We noticed that some of our friends had forgotten to add spaces between their words, or accidentally let their letters float away (not touching the line). We also talked about where capital letters should be (not in the middle of a sentence!). We practiced writing some sentences together to see where the spaces and letters should be. We are going to keep practicing this next week until we are feeling more comfortable writing in our journals independently. 

We practiced letter G yesterday. We only have 1 letter left in our first set - A. Then we will do some review of our first 9 sounds and practice making words with them before we start our second set. 

We finished working on visualizing our 5 Little Pumpkins poem today! We drew a picture for each stanza of the poem. We practiced reading the poem together, then we watched a video of the 5 Little Pumpkins song to see if our pictures were different or the same as the pumpkins in the video. 

Yesterday, we practiced adding numbers using the number lines on our desk. It is a pretty simple strategy! We were able to do several problems on our own. We have been mostly adding and subtracting with 1 so far, but we're ready to start using some bigger numbers!

We had music with Mr. Wiens today and we went to the gym to play some parachute games as well. 

We also reviewed something we did in the very first week of school - writing the numbers to 100! When we first tried, it was very tricky! Today, we were able to write more number, and we fixed some of the numbers that we used to write backwards. It is so cool to see how much we have learned already!
