Happy Fri-YAY! :) We have had multiple fun things happening in the classroom this week, but one thing that was new to our class was "Tech Time". We have a website we use at school with multiple different lessons. What we worked on today was keyboarding (home row) It was a great fun way for students to learn the correct way to efficiently type. My favorite part was how engaged the kids were. Plus the typing practice is to music so the kids love typing correctly and quickly so it sounds good. Below they are working hard and are soooo focused!
I loved walking around and seeing the kids with their hands on home row and not just pecking at the letters! This is a skill they are going to need in their daily lives probably forever!
Since fall is in full swing we did our first bigger writing project this week! This included learning the writing process! We did it step by step: 1. Brainstorming 2. Rough Drafting 3. Revising 4. Editing with the teacher 5. Publish
The kids did a great job! Last week we really focused on adding detail to our sentences, so I was so excited to see them using that skill in their writing! Our prompt was: In the fall I love to. . . .they also got to make this cute little leaf "man". . . we added these outside the classroom above our All About Me books we did the first week of school.
NEXT, we have art! We completed leaf rubbings today. I figured since we were reading about leaves and writing about the fall we would do a fall art project. It was so easy and the kids loved it. In the video below you hear a student saying, "I'm going to pick some leaves up after school" YAY! It is so easy and relaxing...(best of all no mess)
Here is a project in the process... we got interrupted to go to PE.
Lastly, here is a picture of our owls. These are put up each time they receive a compliment from another teacher in the hall. They already have 4! This past week they got 2! I think they are starting to get in the swing of good hallway manners! We have a pretty great class:) After we get 11 owls we get to have a classroom party! So the kids get so excited each time they hear a teacher compliment them!
I hope you all have a great weekend! Enjoy your time together as a family!
