Working On Possessive Nouns









by: Keaton Today we are studying possessive nouns. Keaton`s is a possessive noun. Reagan`s exsided that tomarow is Colonil Day. We are going to waer our costums. Today is the last day of our reading program. Xavier is exsided about Colonil Day too.

MRS. BRUNO'S NOTES: Our Thanksgiving play turned out to be so much fun. We were very thankful for the support of our family and friends. I've included some pictures of our great actors!

We began book clubs today with our blue and green reading groups. The kids are quite excited about meeting with me to read chapter books and then having assignments to complete on their own, as well. I'm hoping this will help increase their sense of responsibility. We've begun working on vertical addition with regrouping. Most of us caught on immediately, and I'm looking for everyone to have mastered it within the next couple of days. It's amazing how much branching has helped the kids understand the concept of tens and ones. You can't believe how we used to struggle with, what I call, the "short-cut" method of carrying and borrowing tens. It's been almost second nature with these kids because they have more number sense. It's exciting to watch!!!
