Daily Update:
We began our day with the morning announcements and a quick review of yesterday’s work. Afterward, we rehearsed our Halloween song for Thursday’s performance. Our spelling word for the day was “Character,” and our Show Not Tell was “She was jealous.” We completed the Week 8 Tuesday Haggerty listening games, practiced drawing a haunted house in our Doodle session (at 1.25 speed), and did a quick two-minute workout to get moving. In UFLI, we reviewed the "ck" and "sh" sounds and started working on the consonant digraph “th.” For Work on Writing, students responded to the prompt, “The most fun game to play is…”
Math:
The Grade 1s and 2s continued patterning work, reviewing AB and AABB patterns and learning new ones like ABB, AAB, and ABC. Can you think of a shape pattern we tried? The Grade 3s tackled addition word problems, modeled the equations with concrete and visual representations, and recorded their process symbolically. They also practiced mental math with quotients and finished with Dreambox Math.
After Lunch:
We went straight to Mrs. Robichaud’s guidance class, where we explored emotions, empathy, and strategies for overcoming challenges.
PE:
For PE, we took advantage of the nice weather and played baseball on the field. What was your favorite position to play today? I always enjoyed hitting, even if I wasn’t the best at it!
Day End:
To close out the day, we added a reflection to our Book of Gratitude with the prompt “I felt included when…” We checked over our morning books to ensure all our work was complete, signed our Home to School books, and added a November calendar. We also had two special guests, Megan and Claire, who taught us a fun beach ball game as a final activity.
Picture of the Day:
The girls in our 2/3 class love the playground and playing with equipment! See if you can spot any familiar faces.
