Happy Fall Y’all!

Happy Birthday, Eddie!

WHOA BABY! Thank you to Lily for the HUGE donation of box tops! We are SO grateful!
What LEARNING and GROWING went on in room 217 this week:
Academics
ELA: We wrapped up reading Horrible Harry and Triple Revenge by Suzy Kline. This is chapter book gave us the opportunity to discuss some social/emotional issues that may arise in school and the right and wrong way to handle them. Our reading block also focused on sorting and recognizing long e words as well as sequential words – first, then, last.
Writing: Students wrote about their experiences with Hurricane Irma as well as narratives using silly sentences.
Math: We officially wrapped up Numbers to 1,000 and took the Chapter 2 Math Test on Friday. We also enjoyed a few small group game centers such as “I have, who has”, “Race to the top”, and “Beat the Teacher”.
Science: We studied discussed the importance of the Scientific Method.
Social Studies: We practiced labeling the continents and oceans on a map.
Students of the week:
