Character Education:  Today Mrs. Weninger came and talked to us about Superflex.  He is a character that we all have in our brains who helps us to stay "flexible" and "go with the flow."  When things are going wrong and we are having a hard time, super flex can help us to calm our bodies and be flexible.  We shared times when we have needed to be super flex.  Next we got to color our own picture of super flex!  Next week we will start talking about the "Unthinkables."  These are in our brains too and  sometimes come out and can cause problems sometimes.  Superflex helps us to get rid of the unthinkables.  Watch for more information coming home about these characters.

Math:  Today in math we retaught the previous lesson about decomposing numbers.  This is a really tricky concept so today we reviewed and practiced decomposing smaller numbers to help us understand the concept.

Writer's Workshop:  Today we did a writing prompt called...In Fall I see....  The kids used their brave spelling to write about something they can see in the fall.

WE HAD MUSIC TODAY!

Reading/Phonics:  Today we learned about the letter S and the sound it makes.  We read the story Seal's Silly Sandwich.  We brainstormed s words and worked on our letter poems.

Daily 5:  We did a great job today working independently at our stations.

Handwriting:  Today we worked on the letter E.
