The skills we covered on Tuesday were:
- place value (to the thousands place)
- proofreading (for capitalization, punctuation, spelling)
- pronouns
Because Thursday was a party day, we did some special activities:
- We wrote cinquain poems about spiders.
- We estimated the weight, height, and circumference of pumpkins, then found their actual measurements.
- We then painted the pumpkins.
- We made a tally chart of pumpkin shapes.
- We identified odd and even numbered leaves.
Here is a picture of our class combined with the first grade class. (I am dressed as Harry Potter, and Mrs. Williams is the Paper Bag Princess.) Enjoy!
