Another new critter joined our class. This is Jabber the Reteller. He taught us what to include when we retell a story. The kids love Jabber and are eager to use him during centers time.
We finished up reading words with short o (although we will keep practicing so that we don't forget) and presented the Apple Tree Poem. Lovely job First Graders!!!
All our stories this week were about friends, so on Thursday kids, in partner groups, created a poster about what friends do. It was a fantastic opportunity to work and share and collaborate together.
Today we were happy to be the audience for some fourth graders who presented a germ reader's theater. Not only was it funny, it was informative. They also did a great job!!!

So far in math we have worked on addition to 10 and counting on or using number bonds to find the answer. This week we included how to use a number line to find answers as well as figuring a subtraction sentence that goes with an addition sentence.
Grouping the kids for extra instruction has been great!!! I'm really looking forward to some tweaks to make it even better.
Mr. Williams came on Thursday afternoon to show us his fertilizer truck and share about soil samples and fertilizing. The impressive part was how big the tires are!!
Oh, yah... Our Bead Party. The Candy Party.
It was totally their idea. And we made it up as we went, because I've never been to a candy party before. What I loved the most:
1. Seeing the students joyfully pass out candy to everyone.
2. Hearing "thank you" from the students as they received the candy.
Kids love sharing and I'm grateful for the support of parents who help make this happen.
I will leave you with a sample of writing from this week:
Next week... on to more October and pumpkins.
