Today started in a great way! Wow what an AMAZING turnout for Donuts with Dad! I don't know if I've ever seen that many dads here before! So cool! The students were so excited to have you here and show you our classroom and also the writing they have been working super hard on!
After Donuts with Dads, we worked on a writing piece "I can___." We are working on writing sentences, sounding out the words we want to write, and writing the sounds we hear. Our math lesson today was working with beans and putting them in different arrangements to count them (array, circle, square, etc). This is working up to our subitizing standard, being able to look at a number of items and tell how many are there. We also discussed our school rules, routines, and how to be a good friend. In reading groups, we read the book "When Dinosaurs Came with Everything," as well as drew 6 pumpkins, seeds and the numbers that corresponded with the number of seeds and continued to work on Ss and our sight words. We also listened to the Fable "The City Mouse and the Country Mouse." We learned a fable is short story that teaches a lesson. Today's lesson learned was to be happy with what you have, like the country mouse. A question you could ask your child is "What are some things that you are happy or thankful you have?"
One last piece of information, the students will be performing at our Prairie View Veteran's Day Assembly.
