Happy Birthday Lydia!

Letter Study: Kk
 Popcorn Word: it

Handwriting: K (Big line, little line in, little line out)
Writer's Workshop: Introducing "Turn and Talk"-talking to a partner about why it's important to listen to your partner. Again, this segmented time of day is helping your child to develop good listening habits and oral language development.

Use the Comprehension Strategy: Analyze Character to write a letter to the Big Bad Wolf

DAILY 5: The children are working hard during this time on all sorts of activities that strengthen knowledge of letters, sounds, and words. Way to go Kinders!
Music Today
Math: Inventories
The kids work in pairs to find out how many items are in a bag. Will the pair come up with the same number? How will it be represented on paper?
Their work focuses on:
~Developing strategies for accurately counting and keeping track of quantities up to 12.
~Representing quantities with pictures, numbers, and/or words.


Smart Room Highlight: Pencil Roll
Levi and Santi are trying to keep their legs together and arms above their head while trying to keep their shoulders on the tape as they roll.

Today we say goodbye to Miss Slettedahl as she moves on to a new student teaching assignment in Edina. We will miss her and wish her well in her new placement!
She will forever be in our hearts!

~I am looking forward to visiting with the rest of you tonight and tomorrow!
~No school tomorrow for elementary students. Have a wonderful fall break!
