Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 is read aloud and weekend round up.
Period 2 is reader's/writer's workshop. I'm hoping to teach the kids how to access Epic books (online reading website).
Period 3 and 4 is math -we're going to learn all about ratios. I have a worksheet then a game they can play online: https://mathsnacks.com/ratio-rumble.html
Period 5 Is french with Ms. O'Neil.
Period 6 I'm hoping to get the class on code.org to do some more coding.
Thank goodness it's Friday!
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 and 2 is reader's/writer's workshop. I like keeping Fridays fun...so the kids will have the option to read or write with a partner during this literacy block. I also am going to teach the kids how to play Boggle...I played a few rounds with a small group last week and they liked it. So I'll explain the rules to everyone today and we'll play a class game online: https://wordshake.com/boggle.
Period 3 I have a math challenge for the class about how to arrange square tiles into different sized rectangles. Then, if we have time, we'll begin to learn about ratios.
Period 4 is gym/health with Mr. D.
Period 5 and 6 is Art. I have an art activity where the kids draw their own monsters after listening to my instructions...it should be spooktacular. https://storylineonline.net/books/how-i-met-my-monster/ (we'll listen to this book first)
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -reader's workshop - mini lesson focuses on "thinking while reading" (re-reading to ensure understanding).
Period 2 is writer's workshop -mini lesson will focus on using important people in our lives to generate ideas (same as yesterday).
Period 3 Math. We'll look again at counting money and specifically adding and subtracting money amounts.
Period 4 is gym with Mr. D.
Period 5 we'll use the chromebooks (buddies are away on a field trip) to begin coding on Code.org. I'm hoping the kids will code their own 'flappy bird' game.
Period 6 we have library/book exchage.
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 reader's workshop. Mini lesson to focus on 'slowing down, to help us make sense'.
Period 2 writer's workshop. Mini lesson to focus on 'finding important people' to help us trigger memories and material for writing.
Period 3 and 4 is math. We'll be looking at money. Reviewing the name of coins and their values. We'll do some work where we count up money and compare sums. We'll look at these games in class:

Period 5 is Mrs. Haynes for Drama/Music.
Period 6 is Science. We'll investigate the natural force of 'Gravity'.
If you haven't contacted me to let me know you've picked up your pumpkin...your child is supposed to come home with a pumpkin today.
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -reader's workshop -mini lesson is on how reader's try more than just one strategy when trying to solve unfamiliar words.
Period 2 is writer's workshop - mini lesson is about using strong emotions (happy, sad, scared) to help us generate ideas for writing.
Period 3 and 4 is math. We're still working on subtracting and with and without regrouping. We'll do some work, then I'm going to post a few different 'subtraction games' websites on google classroom:

https://www.multiplication.com/games/subtraction-games
Period 5 we have an assembly at the church all about bus safety.
Period 6 is drama with Mrs. Haynes.
Reminder...today is the day parents are encouraged to pick up pumpkins from outside the school to take home (instead of trying to get your child to carry their pumpkin home.
Today we had terrific weather for our field trip to the RBG!
When we got back, we snacked and watched a couple of episodes of Wayside.
Check out some of our nature inspired art:

Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -read aloud and reader's workshop. Mini lesson focuses on how 'to coach your partner' when reading.
Period 2 is writer's workshop. Mini lesson is about being realistic...realizing writing doesn't have to be perfect, or finished today...just get some words down on paper.
Period 3 is gym with Mr. D.
Period 4 is math. We'll look a little closer at subtraction with borrowing/regrouping. I think we're starting to get the hang of it.
Period 5 we're going to do our first session of 'computer buddies' with Mrs. Ever's class. It should be fun.
Period 6 is Library book exchange...maybe a little free time after that.
I will be away tomorrow (and all weekend)...Just a reminder, Monday is our Field trip to RBG. Check the weather. Dress appropriately, bring a litterless lunch.
