Rain, Rain, Go Away

What gloomy weather! This weather makes me not want to do anything but lay in bed all day. We really do need the rain though. Hopefully it will clear next week so we can go outside to play again instead of having indoor recess.

 In math, we have been working on skip counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Look at the kids hard at work.

 We learned about spiders. Spiders have 8 legs, 2 fangs, make spider webs, have 2 body parts, and hatch from eggs. I love the Halloween themes going on around the classroom. It puts us in the Halloween spirit.

 We finally received our new class pet. He is a box turtle that likes to pop his head out often to see what we are doing in class. We will have him for 2 weeks before I have to return him.

 In Mrs. Skalaban’s class, the students learned facts about bats. Look at how cool they turned out to be. The students have also been learning about fall leaves and have been working on many writing assignments around the season of fall.

It makes me very proud to see the kids produce sentences independently in Vietnamese Language Arts. Even my non-viets are producing their own sentences independently. Kids really do absorb quickly what they are taught. This is only our third time writing in our journals using our weekly sight words. We have been practicing reading a fall book in class that they kids are enjoying. 

-I will be out the morning of Oct. 29th but will be back for the afternoon.

-Our Halloween party will be Oct. 30th at 1:45-2:30. Thank you for all those who have already brought in Halloween treats for the party!
