Ms. Parkhurst Daily Agenda

Tomorrow is Pajama Day! Wear PJ's but unfortunately stuffies are a no! This morning we started or day by learning our new word sorts for Words Their Way. Ask me what my word sort is! We did How Many Ways? and worded so hard to come up with great addition and subtraction problems to get either 17 or 72. This afternoon we started planning our magnet mazes with our table groups. Tomorrow we will make them with clay. We used a rubric to self assess our team working skills. Check out our work! Highlights of the day: - We went to Maker Space - We played Doctor tag in gym

 Pajama Day is on Thursday. Healthy Hunger pizza lunch tomorrow for those who ordered it. Today we continued to work on increasing patterns. We can create increasing patterns that increase by amount and increase by size and then tell what the pattern rule is.  This afternoon we wrote sentences and made sure we included nouns in our writing (we circled our nouns). I can tell you what a noun is (including proper noun, singular noun and plural noun). Highlights of the day: - We prepared our new words for Words Their Way. We are bringing our old ones home. - We played a jungle game in gym. - We wrote letters to a friend. 

Pajama Day is this Thursday! Healthy Hunger fun lunch, for those who ordered is on Wednesday (Little Ceasers Pizza)! Please send back field trip forms if you haven't yet. Our field trip is next Wednesday! With December around the corner and NLS using the holiday season as an opportunity to focus on sharing our gratitude and kindness, this morning we practiced writing letters. We started by reading Dear Mr. Blueberry.  We can start our letters by addressing who it is for with, Dear______, In the body of our letter we can we can give a piece of information and ask a question to the person we have written to. We can add a closing to the letter: Yours Truly, Yours Sincerely, Love, We can sign off the letter with our name: ________. Today during math we talked about increasing patterns. We started by reading One Grain Of Rice and then worked with our table groups to build increasing patterns using objects. We then created increasing patterns using sound.  This afternoon we talked about

There is no school tomorrow, due to conferences. CONFERENCES ARE IN PERSON! This morning we put all our Words Their Way words into our personal dictionaries. We are excited to start collecting words we want to learn how to spell and looking in our dictionary before asking an adult how to spell the word. When we do ask how to spell a word we add it to our dictionary so we can look there for it next time we need help spelling. This we talked about nouns, proper nouns, singular nouns, and plural nouns. We then did a word search for them in our classroom books. Let's talk about nouns with our families! Highlights of the day: - We did how many ways? for the number 39 - We did curling in gym - We visited the book fair to see what will be there during conferences.  See you at conferences and on Monday for school! 

Picture retake day is on Wednesday. Please return field trip forms. Please sign up for conferences on Thursday or Friday. This morning we read The Grateful Book and wrote about the things we are grateful for. We noticed that we can be grateful for small things as well as big things, and that there are many things we are grateful for everyday. We tried to add descriptive words to our sentences and make our sentences more interesting by using conjunctions like and or because etc.

Just a friendly reminder that students must return their library book each week.

Please help us get all books back each week so all students can enjoy them and there is always lots of variety to choose from.     SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR  We
