Hi everyone! Welcome to the first day of fall!
This week, our Monday Special Person was Corinne - she told us story about visiting the beach and playing in the ocean with her family. On Tuesday, Jinju told us about a time where she rode the Ferris Wheel with her mom - and it went very high!
Yesterday was Luke's birthday, and he was the Special Person! He told use about an amazing trip to Australia - and how he got to hold a baby alligator!!
Today the Special Person is Vivian - she got to ride on her grandpa's speed boat on a visit to Arizona.
The students have such amazing stories to tell - and each day your child writes a story about a similar experience that we put into a book for the special person. We are learning about how much we have in common AND discovering many personal narrative topics of writing.
In math, we continue to explore units of measurement. Today the young mathematicians created a giant foot (otherwise known as a yard) to measure large distances. Ask them about something they have measured with their giant feet!
Here are a few pictures of them hard at work.
Check in tomorrow for more fun ideas from the learners~

The month is half over and we have spent 14 days of school together! The time is flying and we are settling into a nice routine.
Today the Special person was Charlie, who told us a story about visiting a waterfall while on a hike. This was a great topic, and many students had ideas about their visits to a waterfall.
We finished up our first week of literacy centers and small group reading instruction. Your child will be bringing home the work they did independently while their classmates were working with me. A big thanks to the parent volunteers who help make this time run so smoothly.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi everyone!
This week we have learned even more about the students in room 13.
Monday, Emma L. was special person - she told us about her favorite ride at Oak's Park - The Screamin' Eagle!
Tuesday, Jake told us about being pulled on an inner tube behind his grandparents speed boat! WOW!
Wednesday we learned that Milo's favorite ride at Disneyland is California Screamin'
Today, Cyan told us about going roller skating with his family!
We began literacy centers this week. Thanks to all of the wonderful folks who volunteered to help during literacy time - you have been fantastic! Your children are settling into the routine of literacy time very well.
In math, we began using math spiral notebooks to record our thinking during Number Corner. This time gives us an opportunity to explore numbers in many ways, such as understanding the number 15 as money, time, or as a rectangle. The students also worked through the first set of Math Workplaces for the year and should be bringing that work home today.
See you tomorrow!

Happy First week of school!
Hi everyone!
We have had a great first 4 days together. Yesterday we began a time called Special Person. Each day we will randomly choose one person to tell us a story about something they have done with their family. Then we write stories on the same topic and make the Special Person a book of stories.
Yesterday, the Special Person was Juliet who told us about visiting Rio to see her cousin playing with the women's water polo team at the Olympics - they won gold!
Today, the Special person was Emma P. - she told us a story about watching a movie this summer with her family - such fun!
Thank you all of the kind words and support this week - your children are kind, sweet and hardworking - we are off to a great year! Check out the pictures below to see some of what we have been busy working on this week!
