Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so thankful for all of my students and how they come to school each day with a positive attitude, ready to help their classmates and excited to learn!!!

Across the past few weeks, we've been doing a lot! We are beginning to memorize our times tables and have been doing some different fun activities to learn them all!

Here, a students is using their multiplication facts to color in a Fall scarecrow picture!

While we work on these new hard facts, students continue daily practice of addition and subtraction facts so they maintain their speed and accuracy- here Gabby is practicing her facts on XtraMath.org! Log in to check your child's progress today!!!

We have been doing Readers' Theatre in reading groups and the kids love it! It is very engaging for kids because they get to act out their assigned parts and they learn to follow others readers and read with expression. Here are some of our reading groups practicing their plays together- the plays included "Where the Wild Things Are", "Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie" and "The Hidden One" (a Native American Folktale).

 

Lots of learning and lots of fun!

 

I hope everyone has a safe, restful and wonderful Thanksgiving!
