Does anyone else think November flew by!? I swear it was yesterday that I was putting up my Turkey bullieten board. November was quite the busy month around here for the students with the Verteran's celebration, Spelling B, and of course Thanksgiving break.
As far as it goes in my classroom, we kept busy as well. Some highlights that come to my brain are as follows: My Title I students have been rocking it! They have all advanced at least four letters in the Leveled Literacy Intervention program so far this year! Guided Reading has been full great learning experiences- 3rd graders have begun writing to pen pals from the highschool, 2nd grade did some really cool how-to videos, and 4th/5th graders got to work together to pardon Tom Turkey from Thanksgiving this year via breakout box. As far as challenge goes, the 3rd through 5th graders have been using their visual thinking abilities to solve different puzzles and play different games. They also saved the world from an alien invasion attack via breakout box. Who would have known that Smarties candies would keep the extra terrestrials away?
I'd sum November up as a spectacular month. Now it's on to December!
