This morning Ms. Boyer was away for an appointment and Mrs. Bigelow was here instead. We started the day by meeting with Room 1 and the Portable to learn about some new centers. These centers will happen at the beginning of the day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. To start, our three centers are: poetry, bookmarks, and literacy games.
After that we did the first part of our names project. We will be creating fancy name plates to go with our awesome portraits. Then we will start using our name homework to write about our names.
In math we started a new survey about fun lunches. We are trying to find out which type of fun lunch is the most popular. Once we have this information we will share it with the fun lunch organizers. ** Please note that the deadline for ordering for the first fun lunch is Thursday Oct. 11 (not Friday as noted in the handout).
This afternoon we started working on our arthropod diagrams. Today we focused on identifying the main body parts of our insect and making sure that our drawings included them all. Next time we will start adding the labels and title.
Tomorrow morning we will be welcoming a guest author to our school!
