Busy Busy Busy

September has been a hustle and bustle of activity in our classroom! What a great class we have.  I can’t say enough about kind and thoughtful children and this class is just that, great job families 👏🏼😉

 I have been enjoying every day with these kind souls and I am excited for the year ahead of us!! 

We have been reading some great books and already finished our very first class chapter book. I like to read the children books that are in a series so that if they are interested they have more to choose from. 

We are now on to the book: Flat Stanley and I have a lot of great adventures planned for him. Just wait until you hear about all the places he will visit (and we will study) this year!! 

The kids are working hard as readers and writers themselves and have been doing a great job working together. 

Reading Buddies

Writers at work


We also have been talking about the “power of yet” and how when you dont know something it just means you haven’t learned it YET and while some friends might have strengths where you are weak, you have your own area of strength. This also helps us to develop a community of learning where kids feel safe asking for help. 





More updates will be coming soon. Hope you enjoyed this sneak peak into our classroom.

Writing Celebration!

We completed our research on jobs and were excited to present our knowledge and writing with some of the 4th graders who are also working on similar research. The students worked really hard and it was great to see how much they learned and how enthusiastic they were about this project. 

One of the first things we did was to research different jobs and choose our top 3 interests. 

We then shared what we learned with each other
