Miss T. Room 3: Book Fair

Many of us have purchased items from the book fair in the school library already. If you haven't yet, the book fair is open until 7pm tonight and from 8-11am tomorrow. Please feel free to send money or a check in with your student if that is easier as well.

This morning, Mark led our morning meeting to celebrate his awesome behavior. He did an outstanding job! I am always so impressed at how easily the students manage using technology.

During SWR the students thought it was *so* funny when I threw in one of my favorite types of candy to their spelling today... Twix! They loved realizing that it is a member of the ___ix family and that they could hear all of the sounds/letters in that word.

We were so lucky today to have Mrs. AND Mr. Fetters with us for math. We rotated through math stations that included:

rolling 3 dice and counting out that number in coins
rolling 3 dice and adding the numbers
domino addition (part/whole)
computer games
pattern blocks
telling time to the hour and half-hour (and ever the QUARTER hour sometimes!)

We had such a great time!

During literacy we read another story about Thanksgiving and made pattern block turkeys! The first graders got a little frustrated with how much tracing and cutting was involved in this project, but their turkeys are very cute. We continued to add to our "Thankful" books in writing. Our new poem of the day is quite short- and funny! I know your child will be anxious to share it with you when they get home. Look for the packet of our Thanksgiving poems in your child's folder tonight.
