Monday Funday!

We had a friend win an award today!! The Thinker Award -- being a problem solver! :)

Today we started our day by learning about the letter Vv. We learned the new song for Vv and then we brainstormed a bunch of words that begin with the letter Vv! We were very creative with some of our words. We even incorporated FRENCH into this because of our friends included two words that begin with Vv in French. (Vendredi (Friday) and Vert (Green)) After this we wrote in our phonics journals!

During Math we started our Addition Unit! We began by working with partners and using our big squishy dice to roll a number and then add it with another number. We really love throwing the dice around and seeing what number appears! After this we worked in our workbook breaking apart numbers.

During our UOI we watched a video about the different parts of the Earth. What we see is the Earth's crust... Like a pizza, the Earth has crust that goes all the way around... Under the crust is the mantle and then the outer core and then the inner core! After we learned about all of the layers of the Earth, we painted our Earth. While it was drying we went to recess, snack, french and then we practiced the finale for the Christmas Concert! (Don't forget, the Christmas Concert is December 11!)

After this Ms. Gray worked on the Christmas Clap dance with us a little more. We worked in groups of 4 to practice. Ms. Gray was very impressed with our performance!

Announcements/Reminders

1. Please avoid allowing students to bring in toys for recess that could potentially be used as weapons. It makes it difficult to have to take away toys because they are being used in ways that they are not intended. Thanks so much!
2. Math Test and Spelling Tests will be sent home this week.
3. Parent/Teacher interviews Thursday!
4. For the Christmas Concert: Outfit -- If you have a green or red track suit (sweatpants and matching top) or if you don't have that then jeans and a green or red sweatshirt/shirt will work! Any questions please ask. I can send an example of some through email.
