We are having a BEARY short week!

This was a short week but we accomplished a ton!  We picked out our first book in the bag that will come home the week after conferences. (more information about this program will be shared with you at conferences this week)

 We are interviewing our teddy bears.  What a fun assignment!!!

 Writing--Our Halloween stories are amazing!!! You won't believe all of our brainstorming webs, story maps, rough drafts and final drafts we have created.  We can't wait to share them with you at conferences.  We have some real authors in here!

 We are continuing to work on ....greater than, less than & equal to in math...We used our SmartBoard to do a guided lesson with our dry erase boards.  They have this concept down!

In math, we also were introduced to the concept ordinal numbers.

During Social Studies this week we worked in our bear theme pages and learned all about the Panda Bear, the Sloth Bear, the Sun Bear, the Moon Bear and the Spectacled Bear.  The theme pages should be coming home next week!  You won't believe all the hard work that has been put into them.

TNT- (Try New Things) We made Panda Bears out of brads & now our panda bears can move their arms and legs.

Music Program was a hit!  Thanks so much to Mrs. Haskamp for all her hard work and to all our wonderful first grade singers.  What a show!!!! What great singers & dancers we have in here!!!!
