Five Little Pumpkins

The students have been practicing "The Five Little Pumpkins." Each group of students took a turn saying the lines in the rhyme, complete with turning out the lights on cue.

Literary Pumpkin

We decorated our class pumpkins to look like Humpty Dumpty, the King's horses and the King's men. We are very thankful that Mrs. Long and Mrs. Owens were able to help the kids paint and decorate the pumpkins. They are so adorable!

Rice Krispy Treats!

We made Rice Krispy Treats last week! The students took turns putting each ingredient in and being the photographer. Students wrote about the steps involved in making our Rice Krispy Treats and then enjoyed them the next day after our Literary Parade!

Question of the Day!

Each day as part of our Math Workshop, we have a question of the day. Students or I come up with the question and then each student has a turn answering yes or no. It is a great way to learn about each other and also model how to collect data, chart it, add the numbers up, and compare how many people said yes to how many people said no. Below is a question of the day from last week.

Where the Wild Things Are

Students love the book, Where the Wild Things Are. It is one of our "Star books," which means we read it quite a few times for repetition and we also study vocabulary words from the book. If you haven't heard the word "rumpus" yet, you will soon! In the book, Max and the Wild Things have a wild rumpus. This means that they sing, dance, and party wildly. Our class now loves to sing our "Reader's Workshop" like a wild rumpus.
