Daily Update:
Following the morning announcements, our spelling word for today was “unlimited.” Our Show, Not Tell prompt was “He was dressed poorly.” We played our Heggerty listening games and did a quick doodle of a turtle. After that, we started our literacy rotations. In UFLI, we focused on consonant digraphs, and our writing prompt was “My favorite season is…” We shared our writing pieces before getting ready for recess.

After Recess:
We dove into math! The Grade 1s and 2s worked on representing numbers with base ten blocks and compared them using less than, greater than, and equal signs. The Grade 3s practiced mental math strategies with doubles and created addition story problems, solving them with equations. They wrapped up with some time on DreamBox.

Music:
We’re thrilled to have Mr. Whalen back! Today, we got to play with ukuleles. We’ve got a lot to learn before we can play songs, but they’re so fun! Even Miss Brown came down to check them out!

PE:
In preparation for the upcoming basketball season, we spent the first part of class practicing our basketball skills. We finished with some gymnastics activities to work on flexibility and balance.

End of Day:
Our Book of Gratitude prompt was “I am thankful for learning about…” A few students had to redo their sheets with grade-appropriate work—no slacking this close to report cards! We reviewed our morning work, made any necessary corrections, and filled out our Home to School books before winding down for the day.

Picture of the Day:
We’re already brainstorming for our Christmas Concert! No spoilers, but it’s going to be exciting!
