October 3rd

Since it's Tuesday, it means I'm going to be blogging early (when the kids are with Mrs. Smith period 2).  Apologies if plans change.

Here is what the day is suppose to look like:

Period 1 - Red light - what we're thankful for.  Read aloud.  Then Writer's Workshop.

Period 2 Social studies with Mrs. Smith.

Period 3 and 4 -we'll start off with the Author's Chair.  Lena, Brady and Zane have all offered to share.  

Then we'll do math.  Starting off by watching this video.  I'm really focusing on trying to improve the growth mindset of some of the kids who think they're not 'math people'.  

Then we're going to keep working with multi digit addition with re grouping.  Some kids will be trying 3 digit, others will opt for the challenge of 4 digit.  If they finish, they can play a math game.

Worksheets:

Period 5 we'll do another Fire Drill practise...this time using the alternate exit.  Then I'm planning on doing some Thanksgiving art.  We'll brainstorm as a class...but I envision something sort of like this:
