Mrs. Hanson's class joined us this morning for a sign language lesson. Students learned signs for foods such as celery, hot dog, peach, apple, bacon, milk, and pizza, to name a few.

In reading, students took turns unscrambling a mixed-up sentence. They had to use their knowledge of sentence structure to determine which words would be first and last, then work from there. They did a great job! We also talked about announcements, and discussed how traffic lights are silent announcements. We also read a traffic light poem.

In math, students received new number cards, which they cut apart and added to their bag of numbers. I challenged them to put the numbers in order from 0 to 20. Most were able to do this very quickly. We also did a quick review of AB patterns.

In writer's workshop, students have been working on "Me" books. We started this project yesterday, with the hope of having enough pages to compile a book by the end of the week. A few students were so far along today that they numbered their pages, created a cover, and added a title. We will begin sharing the books tomorrow, but will continue all week.
