October Update

We have been learning SO much this month!  Make sure to scroll for all of the pictures since there are a lot! We learned about the pumpkin lifecycle and finished the pumpkin unit with some pumpkin math.  Students guessed how many cubes it would take to measure to the top of the pumpkin and how many seeds were inside.  Then we got to count the seeds inside!  There were about 457!

We have also been working on reading books, practicing the "popcorn" words, and handwriting.  We learned a new math game: Top it!  Students compare numbers on a card.

After attending an amazing conference last week, I learned about the importance of a simple activity: Eye tracking.  I will be sharing more at parent teacher conferences, but basically this helps students improve their eyes not only to be better readers, better writers, and mathematicians.  And it can help them one day be better drivers! :)

It was so cute to see two students practicing with each other during snack one day.

We ended the month reading and playing a game with our 5th grade book buddies!  It is so wonderful seeing the K students read with their friends and teach the 5th graders a new game!
