This morning, we made little words using the letters a,i,i,g,g,h,k,n,n,s,t,v . We made the following words: an, it, at in, tin, tan, van, tank, thank, gain and finally students guessed what the big word was and used all the letters to create thanksgiving. We also did The Daily Five (Listening Center, Guided Reading, Word Work, Read to Self and Writing). I read aloud the book Fox and Squirrel and Junie B. Jones, Captain Field Day. After recess we practiced our Christmas concert songs, Blue Christmas and its Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas. In math class we played an addition card game. This afternoon we did a four minute warm-up in gym and played Grinch and Elf. The class went to the school library to exchange their books. Afterwards students read silently from their library books. I read from the book SuperFudge. We began to learn the basic of chess. Homework due tomorrow and Spelling Test! Assembly tomorrow at 12:30
