October Birthdays and....BATS!

Mrs. Hay wants to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our October birthdays!

Last week we studied BATS! We made a KWL chart about what we already KNOW, what we WANT to find out, and what we LEARNED about bats. We also wrote about bats first with a circle map, then a tree map and then our batty sentences. We also created bats and traced our hands as the wings. In math, we skip counted by 5s and 10s using our bat wings. Our bats flew out into the hallway and are on display this week. In ELA we've started to talk about author's purpose and why books are written...are they to inform (to give us facts/information) or are they to entertain (for fun/enjoyment)? Students used Scholastic book forms to sort books into an inform or enterain t-chart. This week we will be reading about SPIDERS!

REMINDERS: this week is book fair in our school library and PTA meeting tomorrow night, Tuesday, October 16th at 7PM in the cafeteria. See you there!
