Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to everyone who celebrates! If you are going out trick or treating or just handing out candy tonight, we hope you have fun and be safe. To avoid conflict at school and wanting to enjoy all of the candy you went out to get, please refrain from sending any Halloween treats to school for snack and lunch. 

New Letter - today was a blend ai. Mrs. Fillmore taught us that in letter blends like this we always say the first letters name while the second letter is being lazy.

To celebrate Halloween, Mrs. G read us some books about bats. Then we did a guided drawing of bats. Mrs. G would draw one part of the bat, then we would. This continued until we all had a bat drawn in our journals. After that we wrote three sentences about bats:
Bats can see in the dark.
Bats fly at night.
Bats can find food.

We started to talk about the emotion sadness today from the movie Inside Out. Following a short clip from the movie, we brainstormed everything we could think of that sadness is. A few ideas we came up with were:
-lonely
-when you lose something
-when you miss out on something
-crying
-when you do not get what you want
To end the day, we drew a memory of a time we felt sad in our memory bank.

Although today was a productive day, we were very chatty. There were even times that our teachers would be trying to talk or teach us something important, and instead of listening, we were chatting, after recess and lunch too. Because of this, many of us did a writing on how we can show care at school. We are, though, getting a lot better at knowing and following the expectations at school.
