Pumpkin Investigation

This week is all about pumpkins! Our poem this week is called "5 Little Pumpkins".
Our sight words this week are:
down, here, away, jump, funny

These are our last 5 words of our first sight word list! Please continue to review these all at home as we work toward learning our next list in November.

In our literacy block, we used our writing muscles in "work on writing". We wrote about anything we wanted! Ask me what I wrote about! I needed to follow 5 steps in a checklist to help me do this on my own!

Today we were scientists and started our pumpkin investigation. Our first way of investigating was through sketching. We sketched a pumpkin of our choice, and then used oil pastels to add all of the colours and details we could see in our pumpkin. We took our time so that our pumpkin sketches would look realistic!

Tomorrow we will investigate with a different method :)

Reminders:

Tomorrow is picture retake day.
Thursday students can wear Halloween Costumes in the afternoon. Please so weapons or violence.
Friday there is no school for students.

Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!

We had a very exciting day full of surprises! This morning as we were learning our new poem about the gingerbread man, we discovered that our gingerbread people we made on Friday ran away!! They left us a note, and we went on a gingerbread man hunt around the school! Ask me where we had to look and where we finally found them! This afternoon we went up on stage and practiced our song for our concert this week! We are so excited to show you our Sugar Plum dance. This afternoon a package came for us! It was freezing cold and had snow on it! It came all the way from the North Pole! We opened it up and it was an Elf! We will learn what our Elf's name is tomorrow! Here is our new poem of the week and our new sight words: ran, ate, eat, he, no

What is perseverance?

Here is our first 5 words from our new sight word list! This week's words are: do all under on at This is our poem of the week: This week we are talking all about perseverance. Our poem says "I think I can"! This is a positive mindset that we are trying learn to say to ourselves even when things are hard. We listened to a story called "How to catch a star" which is about a boy who loved stars and wished he could catch his own. We counted that he tried at least 5 different ways to catch a star and did not give up until one of his ways worked! We brained stormed what perseverance is and made a list. Then, we drew pictures of a time that we thought something was hard but had to persevere to accomplish it. We drew before and after pictures of what it looks and feels like to persevere! Some of us drew about learning how to ride a bike, swim, skate, climb monkey bars, and play hockey. REMINDERS: We seem to have a fruit fly problem ...
