Halloween addition


We started using the ten frame to help us make combinations for 10. We used Halloween counters on our ten frames to help us.

Learning buddies

We finally got to meet with our third grade buddies! 😊😊😊 They are from Mrs. Gosset's class. They came to our room and helped us learn how to play a game called "Roll, Say, Keep". Some of us had time for another math card game. 

















Exploring shapes

We have been reviewing 2 dimensional shapes and learning about 3 dimensional shapes. We've been sorting, comparing, and describing similarities and differences. We've learned about edges, vertices, and faces. This is a lot of information and advanced vocabulary, so we will revisit these concepts often.

Reading workshop

This is what Reader's Workshop looks like. Each child has their own book box with about 8 books. They "read" independently for about 5 minutes. While they're reading, I'm teaching the children how to "shop" for books.

Fun Run!

Despite the weather, the kids had a great time doing the Fun Run on Friday. They ran the halls and enjoyed an apple after. While it would've been nice to run outside, they didn't seem to mind.
