Yesterday we had a great day. We were very busy! We started with a language arts lesson where we learned about summaries. When writing a summary, you need to only include the MAIN parts-none of the juicy details! I read aloud a story and then the boys and girls took some time to formulate a good summary. They did fantastic! I was so proud of the time they put into their summary and using good handwriting.
We did our centers and had lunch and PE. Then we did a social studies lesson where we talked about globes and maps.
After we went to music we did a math lesson on centimeters and shapes. Then we measured various objects around the room. We will continue to work on this-manipulating the rulers to draw straight lines when measuring objects :)
TOMORROW: Oct 31-
We will be having our fall festival party in the PM. Students may either wear their costumes to school (probably less of a hassel) or change into them later. We will do fall centers with the other classes in the PM. We will also participate in a parade around school tomorrow afternoon.
