Week 9

Nine weeks down already!  Reports card went home and conferences will be next week.  We worked on adding some more artwork/writing to our hallway.  We made footprint ghosts and wrote an acrostic poem for the word GHOST.  We also worked on synonyms this week and made synonym candy corn and "spooks" to hang up to replace our antonym ants we had worked on previously.  In math we reviewed place value with a spooky place value game and we started Regrouping!  I was very pleased at how well the students did!  We did several different formats to understand regrouping from using unifix cubes to using magnets to visualize the concept of regrouping.  We also worked problems out on our white boards showing regrouping and how to "carry to the attic".  The students are doing very well!  In grammar we worked on singular and plural possessive nouns and our spelling words for the week contain the vowel teams of oe, oa, and ow.
