October 29th & 31st {Cyber++}

We had a lot of fun this week, especially with our Fall Party on Thursday!

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!
