Miss Cross' Last Week!

It has been a wonderful last week with the kids! I feel so lucky to have worked with such a talented young group of students. On Monday and Tuesday of next week, both Mrs. Caron and I will be teaching the students. After the students return from Thanksgiving break I will no longer be in the classroom and Mrs. Caron will take back over. Thank you to everyone for being so great!!

Learning the Turkey Bird Song with Mrs. Elder's class! We will sing this as a whole school next Tuesday at our community meeting!

We also made watercolor turkeys and wrote about all the things we were thankful for!

During Reading Workshop we:

• Learned a new reading strategy called Skippy Frog. (This is when you skip a word and come back to it later.) 
• Kept practicing Stretchy Snake.
• Learned that re-reading makes you a better reader.
• Listened to a book read by Sawyer's mom!

During Writing Workshop we:

• Wrote seesaw pattern books.
• Learned how to write more than one sentence on a page. 
• Learned about punctuation!

During Everyday Math we:

• Learned different positional words.
• Continued building staircases with Cuisenaire Rods.
• Started to learn about addition and subtraction sentences. 

Highlights of the week!
