Tuesday we had ALO with Mrs. Belkind. She read the students a book about being "ok" at something. The students made their own book about something they are "ok" at by turning the word OK into a person. They came up with some great ideas.
(I will have all the books the students have made in ALO out for you to see at conferences!)
We also met our 3rd grade buddies in Ms. Freitag's class! This was a highlight of our week. The students are working together to make a buddy book... pictures to come soon!
In math, we practiced counting to answer the question "how many?" while practicing working with dice.

Wednesday we did /a/ in Jolly Phonics and Handwriting. We also practiced reading independently for stamina. We are practicing our understanding of basic print features such as relating the words and the pictures and following from left to right.
In math, we played "Superhero Tower Races". The students worked with a partner and had to roll the dice, count the number of unifix cubes, and then place it on the correct number on the mat to make a tower. This practiced many of our math skills including comparing length, counting to tell number of objects, and comparing numbers.

Thursday Mrs. Castillo-Oh worked with us on our speaking and listening literacy skills. The students practiced "turning and talking" to a partner to ask and answer questions about a story.
We also reviewed "bucket filling", being nice to our friends and following the rules and how that makes you and other people feel good. Please ask your student how they can fill someone else's bucket!
Last but not least, Friday was /t/ in Jolly and Handwriting, more "Superhero Tower Races" in math, and outdoor recess for getting 100 Dojo points!
It was the PERFECT fall day!
