The Feelings Bag

I started a new system for students who need some time by themselves to cool down.  We call it the feelings bag and inside are snacks, calm bottles, a feelings journal, fun new markers and a drawing activity.  Students can visit the bag anytime if they need some time alone.  They can feel happy, sad or mad to visit the bag! We have a glitter calm jar to shake up and a magnetic chip calm jar to play with.  The kids are really excited about it and so am I!

More Phonics Work

Here is our new strategy for sounding out and blending words together in our small groups! 

Pie Math and Writing

To start off November, we graphed our favorite type of pie.  The kids could choose apple, pumpkin or other.  Pumpkin won!

 

Then, we wrote descriptive words for what pie tastes like and we came up with some creative toppings.  

Then the kids came up with their own types of pie creations and we wrote about them!

Halloween Party and Parade

We had so much fun at our Halloween parade and spider themed Halloween party!

 

 

 

All About Owls

We've been also learning....

The different noises that owl species make.

 We got to learn a new poem:

5 Little Owls

Five little owls learning to say, who

They flapped their wings and then said, shoe

Momma owl cried, no, no, not shoe!

Please oh please say, who who who!

Then, we got to make a book to show all the new things we learned about owls.  Our predictable sentences start with "Owls are _________ ."
