Fall is one of my very favorite seasons. With it comes new books, activities, seasons and learning opportunities. Here is what October has in store for Miss Kirk's Sweet Second Graders:
We are working on writing scary sentences this week. Eventually our published pieces will include sight and sound words. We first practiced writing scary words, scary sentences and are now working on scary stories!
Each month I put out tons of new books for my students to enjoy. It provides them opportunities to read different books than our normal classroom library. I also pulled books about autumn from our school library and heartland AEA! They have TONS of themed texts right at their fingertips for the entire month!
If you haven't heard about her already,
then I am sure you have seen the glitter come home on their hands :) ! My
friend the Desk Fairy visited to reward students with super clean desks! It's
amazing how a small incentive can brighten their world!
After a successful first unit, we have
started a math block that allows your student to see me in a small group
setting. When they are not spending time receiving individualized instruction
they are able to go to these different stations!
