Another year older and wiser! But Whooo's counting?

September is my birthday month. I thought it was so sweet that Arnold and his family surprised me with this giant cookie! Owls seem to be a really popular decorating and fashion trend this year which works out great for me since our school mascot is the Ojibwa Owl. One of the gifts from my family was this owl charm for my Pandora bracelet.Cute, huh?

Computer Lab

Every Friday, the class visits the computer lab. We usually begin with a lesson or demonstration on the skill for the week. This week, the students learned how to use the program Bailey's Bookhouse. We practiced word families (rhyming words) and reading direction words like over and under.

Star Student!

Each week a child is chosen as our Star Student! Each child will have the chance to tell the class all about themselves as they present their All About Me Tee poster.

Being a Writer!

As part of the Being a Writer program, we work to build a community of writers and work on appropriate listening and speaking behaviors. The students share their writing pieces in the author chair or on the document camera. They love this time to shine!

Addition and Subtraction on the Smart board

We've started a new unit on addition and subtraction in math. The students practiced sums to ten using this Smart Notebook ten frame activity. We are learning about writing addition sentences, looking for key words for joining in word problems and math vocabulary such as plus, equals, minus, sum and difference.

Fun Run Fundraiser!

The students had a blast on fun run day! We were rained out so we ran inside. Thanks PTO for purchasing our grade level shirts!

Making Applesauce! Yum!

We celebrate our apple theme unit by making homemade applesauce! The kids give it a thumbs up!
