Wednesday September 15th

 Grrr...the dreaded period 2 prep...which means Wednesdays will be predictive posts!


Period 1 was great.  We came in and explored Base Ten blocks to make our own creations for Red-light/quiet work.  Then we read a chapter from Wayside school.  Next we did our reader's workshop and focused on using our 'linger fingers' to slow down.  After that we had a bit of time to write and share our writing.

Period 2 (now) Mr. Woolley is teaching the class French.

Period 3 and 4 I hope to do math.  We're going to focus on using Base Ten Blocks to help us count.  We will explore the manipulatives...play this game

Period 5 we will have a mask break to start.  Then we'll read a book called Thunderboy Jr.  and we'll talk about names and do a little graphing activity about the number of letters in our own names.

Period 6 I'm hoping to sing a little more Raffi...'Down by the Bay' and hopefully come up with our own silly rhymes.  


***UPDATE:

We didn't get to most of the math...because we were SO busy building (and counting) some amazing creations...check them out.
