From the Desk Of Mrs. Tunstall: October 2013

It's been busy in room 119! We are really challenging ourselves to reach new goals and discover new learning all day! Here's a peek into our room!
{You may want to grab a snack and a drink! I have so much to share!}

Read to Someone time during our reader's workshop.

Read to Self during reader's workshop

We began taking home our book bags. Please practice your book and sight words when you see it come home! Book bag will come home. Read the same story more than once. This helps build fluency, accuracy, and expression.

Some of our word work choices

Last week's spelling pattern was short vowel followed by double consonant! It wasn't easy, but we worked hard!

President Bob (our class pet) enjoyed the Fair this weekend in case you have been wondering about his adventures!!! He has really gotten around town!

In guided math, my students worked on their first fact family. We also worked on addition and subtraction too!

Check out this smartie putting the biggest number last for addition right away!!! Be still my beating heart.

We learned the commutative property of addition while exploring number relationships.

We worked on descriptive words for writing.

After watching a brain pop jr about energy students generated this list of items that have or give energy. As we learn about it we will revisit and see if we can add or if we had misconceptions. We have studied light energy, heat energy, and sound energy! Our science journal has another new experiment in it too!
