September 2011

Each morning we begin our day with our Morning Warm-Up.  After reading and discussing the Warm-Up, students find certain words and get to circle those words on the board.


In order to take a test, students must prepare their desk for a test.  This means that their craftbox goes under their chair and their office goes around their test paper.


Students visit 4 centers each week.  Here are some friends at the Story Words Center.  At this center, students read flash cards fro each story word that week, use story words to complete sentences or match rhyming words, and then have a fun follow-up activity with story words (here students are using letter beads to lace their words).


In September we learned all about apples and enjoyed an apple tasting party in honor of Johnny Appleseed.  The hats are too cute!!!  Thanks to everyone who sent items for our apple tasting!





Apples can even make math more fun!  Here are our apple seed doubles facts.


We illustrated the seasons of an apple tree.  We have some great illustrators in our class!!!!


Our field trip to Burritt on the Mountain included a treasure hunt and a barnyard tour.
















Miss Mitchell finished her internship with us on the last day of September, and we gave her a surprise going away party.  We miss her already!  We had fall colored goodies and showered her with wedding presents: monogrammed hand towels, a waffle maker, and a book of Marriage Wisdom--too cute!!!




We read about the different ways animals can move and made koalas.  Baby koalas move by riding in their momma's pouch.
