Jordan is our "Surfer of the Week". He brought something special from home in to share with the class.

Using our fingerprints, we placed apples onto an apple tree we made all by ourselves today.







We used fall themed pictures to create patterns today. We are currently working on A-B patterns and a few A-B-C patterns.

Our assistant principal Ms. Higgins came into our class to read us a story. It was a great story about how everyone has a bucket above their head and you want to keep the bucket full and to be kind to others, when someone is mean or you are mean to someone your bucket starts to drip the water out. Being kind means you get water back in your bucket!

The students made "googly eyes" last week and were very excited to get to use them today when reading our sight word story. They decorated and glued a googly eye on a popsicle stick and are using it to touch read words and sentences as we read whole group and/or reading individually at their seats.
