Ms. Schimel's Class

Here is a group of readers who are reading to our wonderful volunteer, Lanny Straughan.

She comes in each week to help us with anything we need. She also stayed and ate with us. How neat is that? What a wonderful gift of time she gives us. Here is KS signing her reading work. She is in a group that is reading about making pizza. Her activity was to choose four items to put on her pizza and then write about her choices. We are working on sequencing in our writing.

Now it is DC's turn.
We are back to daily practice with our math facts.
Each day we see how many addition problems we can compete correctly in 60 seconds.
Here FA is filling in her chart to show that she has passed another level. Way to go FA.
JD also passed his next level. Our goal is to be able to do 30 problems in one minute.

This afternoon we did a couple of projects. The first one was to learn how to write a complete sentence. Here is AP working.
We started out by (I) identifying the item we want to write about.

Then we (V) pick a verb or action word to go with it.

Then we (F) finish out thought.

See the video at the end of this post to hear some samples of our work.

The next project we did involved our reading buddies.

Since today was our last day together before Thanksgiving, we created a turkey cookie out of some fun foods. Here are some pictures to enjoy.
