So we might be the only school (probably not, but might be) that has school today on Veteran’s Day. We also had school on Election Day. But, that’s ok because we have all of Thanksgiving week off, which is quickly approaching. I’m linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday. Here’s what we’ve been up to…
This is an activity in my vocabulary station. It’s called Vocab Flip Books. Students pick four of our vocabulary words and write them, draw a picture to represent the word, write the definition, and use the word in a sentence. Quick way to review vocabulary and an easy task in Vocabulary Station.
It’s Charlotte’s Web time! I love this time of year. We always do Charlotte’s Web right before Thanksgiving break. It’s such a nice break from our typical story in our Journey’s book and the kids love it! Can’t wait to finish it with them next week.
Have a great weekend!

November 11, 2016 at 3:19 pmThat writing progression board is amazing! Our district has been working to plan more across grade levels. I'm not a huge fan of field trips, either. I usually have fun once we're on our way, but I stress about it beforehand. I hope you had a good day!

November 11, 2016 at 3:24 pmWe don't have Veteran's Day off either, but I'm sooo jealous that you have the whole week off for Thanksgiving! Charlotte's Web is one of my all time favorites! Our students just got finished reading Beacause of Winn Dixie. Having books like these makes it so much easier to get students interested in reading.

Thank you! Turned out very well. I totally understand the stress before field trips. It does get better on it, but I still worry. Hope you have a good weekend!

Because of Winn Dixie is a great book too! That would also make an excellent class book study! Have a good weekend!

November 14, 2016 at 12:50 pmLove the writing progression display ! Our district is focusing on writing this year. I'll have to share your display with them. We are a Journeys school also and it's always good to step away from the book for a bit. Thanks for sharing!
