I cannot believe that October is over! This year is just flying by. I know November will be gone in a flash too. October is one of my favorite months. Although our book fair got canceled, we still had tons of literacy fun!
For Hispanic Heritage month, we read this book. It has become one of my new favorites because it gets the students thinking about the story of their own names.
We had our annual cybersafety poster contest. This was our campus winner!
Book bites lunch book club started with 5th grade and 2nd grade.
The 5th graders listened to spooky stories while the 2nd graders listed to Classroom 13 Halloween.
Students got to watch a ghost story on Goosebumps for the final meeting.
Our Tynker coding club finished with students creating cool projects.
Our 5th grade novel study of The Toothpaste Millionaire concluded with a study of inventors and the students designed their own inventions. Then, we made commercials on YouTube. We have now started Number the Stars and I am working with a group of 2nd graders on Charlotte's Web.
Our wonderful counselor Ms. Green and I met with the 5th grade leadership students. They designed posters for the canned food drive and for Red Ribbon Week. I am excited to see the positive things they do this year.
The app Novel Effect was great fun during story time this month. The students loved the spooky sound effects!
1st grade got to Skype with Rubin Pingk and learn all about being a ninja and how to draw one. It was a great experience!
For Halloween, the students took a pause from their novel study to write silly MadLib stories. They had to guess who the author was. It was a fun brain break!
Our storybook character pumpkins turned out amazing!
Bye pumpkins...November is going to be an exciting month!
