Happy Halloween!

Students were given three jack-o-lantern faces and had to pick one as their favorite. We made a graph with the results. The winning face was then carved into a jack-o-lantern. We got to look at the inside of a pumpkin and students got to touch the inside and smell the pumpkin. We had a great time!

The students chose this face for our Jack-o-Lantern.

Blends

We are learning about blends in words. Students have to find the pictures that match the first picture on the card. Example: A picture of a tree would have all picture cards that begin with the "tr" sound.

Write, write, write

One way we work on writing is having every student make a page for a class book. The book pictured had each student write their name and count the letters in their name. It's a great way for students to understand capital letters, letters versus words, and directionality.

Writing time!

Anthony was in the writing center during language arts workstation time and made a patterned text book all by himself! I love when students take what they learn and apply their knowledge independently. What a success!
