Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful and delicious Thanksgiving Feast today.  Thank you to all those who contributed. We spent a great deal of time learning about the Pilgrims voyage to America and how difficult  life was for them.   I think the children got a good understanding about what it means to be grateful for everything they have.  Wishing you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Bookmarks

Check out these adorable and creative bookmarks that we made last week. The students earned a special art activity by getting many "happy faces" on our chart by following our school rules. Let's keep it up 😊



Reading Fun

Here's a glimpse of some of our Readers and Writers hard at work during our Daily Five stations last week. I love to see the children actively engaged in their reading and writing. 

Students reading books on Razkids. They also practice  phonics skills on Starfall.com which is a great  free website  you can use at home. 

"Buddy Reading" is a favorite station and a great way to practice fluency.

Finishing up stories at the "work on writing" station. We read the story "Ira Sleeps Over" a couple of weeks ago and children have been writing their own "Ira" stories such as "Ira Goes To a The Zoo", "Ira's a First Day of School" etc.
