Mmmmm my favorite meal...

Each student drew their favorite meal on a plate for their pre-write. This was my example! I love eating my Grandma's meatballs, cream corn, and mashed potatoes.

The stories students created were full of many WOW words. I hope they took time to share them with their families. They also had amazing voice in them. They definitely made me hungary!

Christmas Program!

It is so fun to see the kids all dressed up and ready to sing for their families! I was so proud of how respectful they were during the performances and they sang their little hearts out.

Character Chain!

We have been focusing on the character trait of caring this month as a school; however, within the classroom we are still working on using all of them on a daily basis. Students are able to earn a character strip based on a character trait they are caught doing. Our chain has almost reached the floor! Hopefully we'll start having students point out good character in their peers starting this week by giving out the strips themselves instead of me.

Thanksgiving Poetry!

Students paired up with a friend and picked a Thanksgiving, fall, or turkey poem. They practiced it and then shared it with the class focusing on expression, smoothness and pacing. They were so fun to listen to!

Can you guess which gourd is mine?

Students each got to pick out their own gourd and use vivid details to describe what it looked like. Then, when everyone was done students traded papers with a partner and had to figure out which gourd was being described. Some of the kids did such a great job describing their gourd that their classmate was able to figure it out! It was such a fun project to end the week!

Maps!

Students have had fun looking at various types of maps. They have been looking for a key, grid and symbols.
