Ask Me About Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Today we analyzed pictures of spiders.  We noticed what was the same about them, and what we saw that was different.  We looked at the parts of the spider that make up a whole spider.  Check out these spiders!  Ask me to analyze these spiders.

We collected data to find out which spider our class liked the best.  Ask me to tell you about what we found out from our data. 

We enjoyed singing a couple different versions of The Itsy Bitsy Spider today, but the class really enjoys Little Richard's version of the Itsy Bitsy Spider the best!

We continued our our mini-unit about writing notes in Writing Workshop.  Today we focused on writing more in our messages.  We thought about different reasons we may have for writing  a note.  We shared ideas then reviewed the three important parts of a note.  

We continued to practice measuring.  Today we compared lengths to one measuring stick and sorted classroom objects by whether they were longer, shorter or just right.

We had a rushed afternoon as our pictures were taken in the afternoon, and we did not get to exchange Read to Me, Talk to Me books.  I will be in the school tomorrow but will have a substitute so I may not get to exchange the books tomorrow either, so look for a new book on Friday to come home with your child.  If your child has not returned their Read to Me, Talk to Me book and bag, please do so tomorrow so the children have a good selection of books to choose.

Have a nice evening!
