Bring Me a Rock! and A Sick Day for Amos McGee quickly became class favorites! We discussed how the characters worked together in each book to show a sense of community! We also focused on identifying characters, setting, and retelling a story with a beginning, middle, and end.

We made some fun cat toys that we are hoping to donate to an animal shelter in our community!

We made notes for our wonderful Rose Glen bus drivers!

We are continuing to build our reading stamina during Reading Workshop. Everyone is doing a great job staying focused and on task during read to self and RAZ KIDS.

We started introducing the ideas on our new anchor chart called STORYBOOK READERS. This week we talked about the top row of ideas. We modeled these ideas using a fun read aloud. Students are encouraged to try the ideas out during independent reading time.

Mrs. Relich's mentor text was The Little Red Hen.

Mrs. Theiler's mentor was The Three Billy Goats Gruff

We completed Unit 2 (Comparisons) and Unit 3 (Counting and Cardinality).

Unit 2 focused on identifying whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group.

Unit 3 focused on counting skills within 10 and writing numerals 0-10 with proper formation. We discussed the importance of being "precise" when counting.

Check out some of our awesome counting skills...

Living and Nonliving

We are working on telling what makes something a LIVING thing and what makes something a NONLIVING thing. Ask your child to tell you the difference!

Looks for things around your house that are LIVING and NONLIVING!
