September & October
The last two months went by in the blink of an eye, but yet we learned so much in our language arts classes. We read the book “Seven Blind Mice.” This book is about having seven blind mice going to a pond and feeling different things each mouse then shares with each other the ‘feeling the Something.’ Each mouse has a different answer as they all feel different part of the Something. One last mouse decides to investigate, and finds out all parts are an elephant as a whole!
After reading the book, the students were working on creating their own version book based on the Seven Blind Mice book. The students picked their own animal, and created their own story. After writing their own story, the students read aloud their story in front of the class, and the class had to guess what animal in the story. If you want to have a bedtime story, ask your child to read aloud her/his book to you. :)
Beside creating our book, we have had our weekly spelling tests. The students worked so hard studying and memorizing their spelling words. The students and I made a deal; they would have to have no more than one mistake on their test; they would be treated with ice cream. As a result, the students aced their tests with flying colors! You could see how victoriously delightful the students were as the picture is posted below.
