Having fun at the party!

Buddies Making Cards

We met with our buddies to make cards for Veterans who will come to the Veteran's Day assembly next week.

A Great Day For Stuckmeyer's

The weather was perfect for our field trip to Stuckmeyer's Pumpkin Patch.  The children were well-behaved, and they had a great time!  Check out the pictures.

Five Little Pumpkins

Today we read the story and did the finger-play of Five Little Pumpkins.  Then we did an art project with five pumpkins sitting on a gate just like the finger-play.  Check out our finger-play and a couple of samples of the art project.

Morning Message Time

Every day the children help me create a message about the school day.  During message time, I can reach all levels of students.  Some children are saying the letters in the words.  Some children are reading sight words and other children are reading bigger words or spelling words from memory.  Each day four or five children get to share part of the message to the class.  The child might read "Dear Class or Love, Mrs. Madrid".  Other children are reading a sentence or the entire message to the class.  I stress writing concepts as I write the message.  For example, I start a sentence with a capital letter or I end a sentence with a period.  At the end of message time, the class reads the message together.  Check out these great readers in room 19!

Apple Poem

We learned an apple poem.  We found letters and words we know one day.  We also found small words and big words in the poem another day.  We have great readers in room 19!

Yummy Applesauce

The children helped cut the apples to make applesauce.   Most thought it was delicious!   A big thanks to Ben's mom for her help.
