September 25- With Weekly Academic Schedule

Hello Everyone!

Today Catalina was our special person!  She told us a story about climbing a rock wall with her family.  Great story! 
During special person, I demonstrate writing interactively with the students.  Part of their job as learners is to look at the words being written, and choose at least one to either
1. practice reading while they watch the writing, or
2.  learn to spell while they watch the writing.
All students should be taking personal responsibility for learning during this time.

Math:
The kids wanted to let you know that this is the first school day of the month, 9/25, when we build an array that was a square, with the same number of tiles on all sides.  We build arrays for each day of the month.  Here is an example of what we built today:

Lainey enjoyed making creations and designing during choice time.

"Madeline taught me how to make folded kitty faces." Riley
"I liked when Ava reminded me how to make a paper fortune teller during choice time." Sami

Schedule:
Here is the basic schedule for the class.  This is subject to change, but most days is pretty consistent.
