After that we did a large review of all our language arts skills (this was review week in the curriculum). We did a word hunt where students found as many '
the's as they could. We worked on writing the letter
P and thinking of words that start with p. Then we reviewed the letter
A by creating a apple with a words and using brass fasteners. We spent a lot of the morning working through these items and other odds and ends that needed to be done. I finished testing the boys and girls for their report cards.
For Fun Friday the boys and girls got to choose from making crafts with scrap paper, writing/drawing using the whiteboards, exploring mathematical
manipulatives such as blocks and links, or working on fine motor skills as they colored a fall picture. We had a wonderful and fun day. Michael C brought us birthday cookies so we enjoyed those before we hopped on the bus.
--In the classroom we have a 'brag wall.' We did a mini lesson about how bragging is not a good thing, unless someone else does it about you. If a student works really hard on something, it goes on the wall and they get a glitter ball.
Also, we filled our brownie tray again!! (The boys and girls earn a brownie point if nobody moves their stick that day). This is the second time this year, so we will have a mini party either Monday or Tuesday.
Enjoy the weekend!
