This (Short) Week in Review - November 8 - 10

This information found also in Walter's weekly update:

During our short three-day week we managed to fit in a lot of fun and learning. In math, we continued our fun work with 100-number mystery number puzzles, and attempted making our own for an additional challenge. The guess/digit/place game just got exponentially harder by going up to the thousands place.

We have a nice start with our memoir writer’s workshop pieces - after brainstorming lists of possible topics, we are now listing as many sensory memories surrounding that topic. Making several rough drafts and revisions will follow. We heard two delightful selections from our special readers of the week, August and Jackson, and recited/illustrated yet another poem from our poetry anthology - Hug o’War, by Shel Silverstein. We excitedly begin our new chapter book read-aloud, The BFG, by Roald Dahl.

On Friday, we generally gather with Grace’s class for some very sweet times. This week is no exception as we share some versions of the Stone Soup folktale and then make and eat vegetable soup together with the items brought in by the children.
