Writing Workshop:

In Writing Workshop, we continue to draw and write stories together on whiteboards. On Tuesday, after Art class, we wrote the sentence "We painted pumpkins."

Literacy Centers:

We work with partners on various literacy activities during literacy centers.

Shared Reading:

This week we read the book Pumpkin, Pumpkin by Jeanne Titherington.  We read it several times throughout the week.  We also learned some motions to go along with the story.  Here is a video of us telling the story with the motions!   

We also learned a poem about pumpkins!

Math: 

We began Unit 2 in math this week.  Unit 2 is all about numbers 6-10.  We focused on writing the number 6.  We also focused on looking for groups of five in the numbers 6-10.  For example, we can see 6 as 5 + 1.
