Mrs.

Youngs Class Shared Reading


Our focus for Shared Reading this week was Pumpkins. We read the books Perfect Pumpkins, The Pumpkin Book, Pattys Pumpkin Patch, Apples and Pumpkins, The Bumpy Little Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin Soup, The Runaway Pumpkin, and A Day at the Pumpkin Patch. We measured our class pumpkin, sequenced the growth of pumpkins, labeled the parts of a pumpkin, and even tasted pumpkin seeds after guessing how many were in our pumpkin. We completed a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting apples and pumpkins.

October 26, 2012 Dates to Remember


October 29: Life South Blood Drive November 2: Tailgate Day November 7: Book Fair Lunch

From Mrs. Young


We will have Tailgate Day at AEEC on Friday, November 2. The children will be rotating to different stations throughout the day. Children are to wear their favorite team jerseys, hats, cheerleader outfits etc. We will also have a pep rally. We will also be eating a tailgate lunch. Please let me know if you would like to bring a class snack for tailgate day.

Theme
This week, we finished constructing our oceanographer and learned about seahorses. We read books to learn about their body parts (eyes, snout, fins, gills, tail, body armor) and the purpose of each one, how they swim, and what they eat. We completed a KWL chart on what we know, want to know, and what we learned about seahorses.
