Thanksgiving dinner at lunchtime was simply delicious today! We were able to slow down our busy day and eat a huge feast together as a class. The food was wonderful and the company was even better!

During writing time they are; finishing writing their nonfiction texts and reading them to their writing partners as well as their eighth grade reading buddies to get some feedback from many sources. We began writing "I am thankful for..." books and we will be sharing those at conference time. We sure do have a lot to be thankful for.
Animated Alphabet is our approach to phonemic awareness and spelling. The letters are taught through a multi sensory approach of music, dance, characters and signs which help the students hold onto that information. The characters we learned this week were; Gilda Goose and Crazy Camel.
In math we are working with teen numbers, formation of numbers, playing a "spin a number" game, addition and subtraction practice and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week.
We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)
