Daily Update

Daily Update: We started on the mat watching the morning announcements. We did a quick evaluation of Friday's work. Our spelling word was "Apology." Our show-not-tell phrase was "He was embarrassed." We did our Haggerty listening games (if you’ve never seen them before, check them out here) and awarded our first Haggerty Hero. We doodled a haunted house for Halloween at its normal speed. We continued with Literacy rotations. Miss Brown joined us today for Work on Writing. The prompt “When I grow up, I want…” brought out some creative responses! We also reviewed "ck" sounds and started with the new "sh" sound in UFLI.

Math: The 1’s and 2’s worked on AB and AABB patterns. Can you think of an example pattern we used with shapes? The Grade 3’s modeled addition with concrete materials and recorded their process symbolically. They also did some mental math bridging to friendly numbers.

After Lunch: We read more of *The One and Only Ivan*. Julia was a bit too old for some finger paints her aunt gave her, so she gifted them to a friend who LOVED them. Who was that friend? We also worked on our Halloween song, excited to share it soon!

PE: We headed outside to the field for a game of soccer baseball. Mr. Ross joined us as the all-time pitcher to keep things fair. Not sure who won today, but everyone had a blast!

Day End: To wrap up the day, we wrote in our Book of Gratitude with the prompt, “The most fun activity I did today was…” We checked our morning books to ensure all work was done, signed our Home to School, and I tucked picture orders into the books for those who ordered this round.

Picture of the Day: These models are striking a pose to remind us to check our Home to School books for the school photos that went home today!
