Please see the post below for information regarding Writing Workshop. We have learned so much!
We read SO many Dr. Seuss books this week, my own thoughts are beginning to rhyme! Everyone was excited to see that they could read many of his stories and the students gathered together around his books every free moment they had. It was wonderful to see them eagerly snatching up as many of his books they could! We also continued reading nonfiction. We learned how to use context clues to understand new vocabulary.
In our geometry unit, we studied hexagons and then moved on to 3-D shapes. We had hands on experiences with 3-D shapes and searched for them all over the classroom. Some of you had a 3-D shape search at home, too! Way to go! We will continue our 3-D work next week.
In Social Studies, we embraced the new month and discussed the special days ahead. Then, of course, we celebrated Seuss everyday!
On Monday's Silly Sock Day, we read The Foot Book with our shoes off and shared our silly socks with everyone! We also read The Cat in the Hat.
On Tuesday's crazy hat day, we all made Cat in the Hat hats. Then we read The Cat in the Hat Comes Back and Dr. Seuss' ABC.
On Wednesday, every thing was wacky in the room! We mixed up our schedule and read Wacky Wednesday and There's a Wocket in My Pocket!
On Thursday, Dr. Seuss' birthday, we had our Seuss-a-thon, moving to each kindergarten room and doing fun activities based on his books. We read Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. Check out the pictures of our favorite storybook character costumes!
On Friday, we read Mrs. Henry's favorite, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut! Then we met our 5th Grade "twins" and read our favorite Seuss titles with them in the Library.
