We’re off to a great start in our 5K/1 combination classroom. During the Daily 5, students will work on building stamina during Read to Self and practice Reading with a Buddy. We also begin our mini lessons using the Reading Wall. We will do a mini-inquiry unit on hot air balloons. We certainly will have to investigate the big hot air balloon rally in New Mexico which is coming up in October. In Math, we will begin our study of Geometric shapes as the students move to various stations focusing on shapes and numbers. Last week, we enjoyed reading books about pirates and their “stinky fish” behavior. We compared it to “good fish” behavior. The children made pirate hats and telescopes to spy for “good fish behavior”.
