Each day for letter review, students echo read a predictable book (only 1 word changes per page. I read it and then they read it as I point to the words. Today, students wanted to do it on their own. I read the classic book The Runaway Bunny and a Halloween "copycat" version called The Runaway Mummy. At journal time, students thought about their own "copycat" version and wrote where their character would run. I saw an excellent one called "The Runaway Ghost," in which the ghost ran away to a graveyard. In math, we learned about number lines and how they only show some numbers--the arrows at each end mean there are more numbers in both directions. Students completed a dot-to-dot. Students played a math game similar to Candyland, in which students had to take turns, spin a spinner, and move their game piece. It quickly became clear that we need to word on cooperation. We had a little time to kill between recess and library so we played a quick game of Duck Duck Goose. Mrs. Waples gave students a preview of some of the books available at next week's book fair. Ms. Kembel made some fun treats for students that they received at the end of the day and I gave them a coupon for a free Wendy's frosty. Have a fun weekend!
