We try to use the Smart Board whenever possible and the kids truly love it.
We have been very busy in all classes getting ready for conferences and now Thanksgiving vacation. Here are a few of the things we have been up to in the past few weeks.
3rd grade: Each group has been working on their oral reading fluency and writing skills along with various phonics activities and we have also worked on nouns. After vacation we will work on verbs.
4th grade: We just finished reading some folktales and we have now moved on to a unit on owls to go along with their science unit. When we return from vacation we will continue to owl unit. We are reading books such a All About Owls and Owl Moon.
5th grade: We just finished a wonderful book called Rules by Cynthia Rylant. It dealt with characters that faced challenges such a autism and being paralyzed. Students loved the book and were very happy with the ending. When we return we will start Fig Pudding to put us in the holiday spirit.
I'm not sure who is more excited about Thanksgiving vacation, the kids or myself?
