At long last, I am finally linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for:
Our PTO treated us to a laser program that talked about respect, honesty, integrity, generosity and being true. The program was put on by Prismatic Magic (www.prismaticmagic.com):
The kids loved the laser show and the music.
We did literacy centers and one math center:
The centers last week included:
*Dictionary center (not pictured) including words related to non-fiction text features like glossary,...
*Math center - review of even and odd numbers as well as place value (I won these centers; you can check them out here.)
*Writing center - I sit with the students in the writing center and work with this small group. I noticed that many of the kids did not know what it meant to indent the first sentence of a paragraph so I incorporated this concept into my Morning Message. Also, I bought a Daily Five packet for November. You can check out the December packet here.
*Listening Center. The kids listened to Before You Were Mine which told about adopting a dog. It also showed how the first dog died so I heard from many of the kids that this was the saddest book ever. When they're done listening to the book, they fill out a brief summary of the book.
*Read with a friend. For this center, I included some sight word fluency practice (check it out here.). Then the kids get the read picture book to each other.
*Read to self which we all do together at the end of center time.
The kids really love their literacy/math centers!
Here are some of our Morning Messages which include some improvements such as Fact of the Day and Complete the Multiplication Table:
Check out our wetus:
On Friday night, I was in a fashion show/fundraiser for Change is Simple which is a non-profit environmental education program. It was a sustainable fashion show so I wore my own clothes - styled by Muffy. The best part was getting my hair and make-up done by volunteers! Here's the Woburn group:

Even though the wetus turned out to be challenging, they did come out quite cute!
