It has been a busy 2 weeks! We have been using bats and pumpkins to help us review science, reading and writing skills. One of our favorite brain breaks was doing the moves along with the song Vowel Bat! Check out the video below to do the Vowel Bat song at home.
We have also been reviewing and learning about nouns. We use the noun song to help us remember that nouns are a person, place or thing. We add animal when we use our anchor chart though ;). We make a lot of anchor charts throughout the year. These are so helpful in giving us something to look at and reference as we progress throughout the year. This is the noun anchor chart we have started.
The video below is our noun song. Ask your student to show you the moves that go along with the noun song below!

We also had Halloween and Book Character day AND Red Ribbon Week...phew! It has been a fun and super busy week! For Halloween we did a lot of fun review activities. One of my favorites is the Candy Corn Bandit (thank you Abby Mullins)! We use predictions and inference to answer clues to find where someone hid our candy corn in the school. We write about the bandit and what we experience and then create him or her to go along with our writing.
For Halloween math we did Math Or Treat! We worked in groups to complete addition and subtraction and word problems. When everyone in the group answered all the questions correctly each group member got a piece of candy.
To conclude the day, we went to the library and used Google Expedition interactive goggles to visit outer space and see the planets, sun and moon.
