Five for Friday

Hi Peeps!

It's been a crazy few weeks, and while lots of learning has been going on, not a lot of picture taking as been going on!

It's nuts at how busy my class is keeping me-I often forget how far we come in a school year.

So, here is an update of what we've been working on - mostly anchor chart style. :)

First and foremast, the most important thing that has happened...
MY SHELVES WERE FIXED!! :D

Look at that beautiful gloriousessness! It's so pretty. It's so organized. I'm in love. :)

Divider 2
We've been spending some time talking about perseverance and how mistakes are okay.We've also been talking about how everyone is smart, but just in different ways. To go along with that, I recreated a chart I found on Pinterest.

We've also been learning about different ways to get along, and how we can start solving some of our own problems.

We've been focusing on sentences and meaning in writing.

Now for the biggie!

We've been spending a lot of time learning alllllll about reader responses and how to do them (as well as practicing them!). {Here are the posts I did last year, which is guiding my instruction this year. Post 1, Post 2}




We've just started learning about character traits, and have already learned about plot and setting.

We've covered a lot! We also been working on math-not to worry about that! We're almost done chapter 1, and will be starting chapter 2 soon.

Here's to the busyness of the beginning of the year starting to slow down soon!

Smiles and Sunshine,
Kaitlyn

  6. I'm so glad I discovered your blog! I know what you mean about forgetting how far they come during the year. Right now, I feel like we aren't getting anywhere! I know that isn't true, but I'm still comparing them to the my end-of-third-graders from last year. I haven't had time to take many photos, either. My class is delightful and VERY hands-on right now. I'm in New England also, so we're practically neighbors. Have a great weekend.
