This week we read Just so Thankful by: Mercer Mayer. We started the lesson by talking about the title and what Thankful meant. The first day we did a look through and just looked at (read) the pictures. Students identified the setting, and the characters. Students also were able to identify the beginning, middle, and end of the story. Students also, discussed what they were thankful for (a person, a place, and a thing). 

In math this week we compared numbers. We started with numbers and writing one more and one less. We then moved on to comparing groups of objects and identifying if a group had more or less and explaining how they knew. And, last we worked on the alligator chomp, and students were asked to make their gator eat the number that was more, or write the equal sign. 

In writing this week we talked about sentences. We started with discussing how letters make words, and words put together make a sentences. We did a letter, word, sentence sort. We then watched the Jack Hartmann video on the different parts of a sentence (starts with a capital letter, a sentence has more than one word, a sentence has spaces between the words, and ends with punctuation). Students have been working on writing sentences all week, not only in writing but, also in reading.

I am wanting to do a compare and contrast lesson on pumpkin and apple pie. I wanted to ask if anyone would like to donate a pie. I am thinking 2 pumpkin and 2 apple should be enough to give every student a small slice. With that being said I would also like to see if anyone would like to donate plates and napkins. If you can just let me know! I would like to have them by Thursday if possible. I appreciate all of your kindness in donating this year!
