Can you believe we are already half way through October?
Happy end to the 1st Quarter!
This Week:
Reading: Our strategy for the week was Making Predictions. It's always a good idea to make a guess to what is going to happen next in the story! In our reading journals, we made a prediction about a story Ms. Turner wrote. Using clues, the students had to guess Who Took Ms. Turner's favorite shirt? Seeds, feathers, and an egg. The answer: a chicken!
Here's a sneak peek at what our Weekly 4 looks like: Work on Writing, Word Work, Read to Self, and Read to Someone.

Special Guest: Mrs. Bezner came to read to our class this week! She read the book, “The Three Wolves and the Big Bad Pig.” The book was great!
Writing: Our strategy for the week is Setting. The students thought about the setting of their stories they were writing.
Math: This week we learned about odd and even numbers. We said that odd is like Odd Todd and they are numbers that don’t have a pair. Even numbers are like Even Steven and they can all be grouped into pairs.
Bible: We finished the story of Joseph and what an incredible story! From the very beginning where Joseph had a dream about the wheat and the stars bowing down to him, to the end where his brothers came to Egypt looking for food during the famine and bowing down to Joseph as the ruler of Egypt! The whole time, through the good and the bad, God was with Joseph. This is my favorite verse from the story, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” Genesis 50:20
Social Studies: We finished our first unit called Me on the Map. We learned about the world, Asia, Japan, Okinawa, Yomitan, OCSI, and ME in my classroom! For 2nd quarter we will focus on Science and Life Cycles.

Bible Memory: "Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture." Psalm 100:1-3

Phonics Games:
I found some great online games for student to play and practice the short vowel sounds. We are already finished with the unit, but for extra practice these games may be good. Try them out!
