Salutations!!!

1KC has been hard at work! After our back to school assessments and skill reviews, I am proud to announce that your child is in the right place!!  :). Seriously, the kids have caught on to our routines and have impressed me with their quick learning!! I look forward to an awesome year!!

This week, we are covering letter writing in Writer's Workshop.  We have discussed the components, thus the title of this blog, written an invitation to Ms. Hale's class to join us for Math Workshop and will be dropping our 4th grade buddies a line also!

We are enjoying Apples and Johnny Appleseed this week as we merge this fruit and historical character into Science and Social Studies. Here is our apple tasting food from today....yum!!

These were popular with almost everyone!!
  I promised I would share the bag, so you could

pick  some up for your Gator.  I found these at Cub Foods.

Math Workshop is one of our favorite activities!

Here are some pictures from this past week ...we broke out the water colors to paint a colorful sea of Rainbow Fish, like the character in the children's book. We used this story to discuss our Schema or what we know, in Reader's Workshop. We learned we are all pretty colorful and special in what we know!
