ONE WEEK!!! Today marked one full week of school and things are off to a great start.
Reading: We read the Three Little Javilians today. Students each made 2 connections to themselves or other stories while reading. Some connected to the coyote being like a big brother or sister, others thought that I was like the Javilians since I play guitar too. We also continued working on our story comparision chart. Tonight for homework students are to read the Three Hawaiian Pigs and the Big Bad Shark and complete their chart.
**** How is this story different from the traditional Three Pigs story? ***
Writing: Today was store bought cookie day. Student worked in groups to use their 5 senses to describe the store bought cookies. We will be writing paragraphs on them tomorrow.
**** How were these cookies different from the bakery cookies?****
Math: Today's focus as on number grids and place value. We worked on counting by 10's starting at all kinds of different numbers. We also started making our place value dragons. They will come home next week for all to see. We also took our 3rd Monkey Math test today. Everyone is doing great at knowing their facts.
**** Count by 10's starting at 17. How about from 123? ****
Science: Students worked in their groups to continue to discuss the properties of different fruits. We will be digging into this all the way on Friday.
**** Have you started to study your spelling words?" ****

About Me
This is my 9th year teaching in the Amphitheater School District and my 11th year teaching. I taught 3rd grade at Painted Sky for 7 years. Before teaching there I taught music for 2 years in TUSD at Henry. I am so happy to be a Walker Wolf this year!
I attended college at the University of Arizona and have my bachelors in Education. I am working on my master’s degree this year also at the University of Arizona. GO WILDCATS!!! I am a huge AZ basketball fan. I am an Amphitheater High School grad and I attended middle school at La Cima. In November 09 I achieved my National Board Teaching Certification. I have teaching endorsements in Early Childhood education and Second Language Learning.
I love living in Arizona and have since 1993. I was born in Phoenix but only lived there for 2 1/2 months. Before moving back to Arizona I lived in Nebraska for 9 years and attended Westridge Elementary and Elkhorn Middle School. My extended family lives on the east coast in The Washington DC area. As a kid my family visited there every summer and spent a week at the beach in North Carolina. I love the beach. I still get to go back and visit all the time.
I live in the middle of town, near the U of A. I live with my VERY cute puppy Oreo who is 4. My mom, dad and brother live here in Tucson also. My mom sometimes comes to school and helps in the classroom and my Dad and brother may come by too. My birthday is December 3!
I love monkeys, music and smiley faces. My favorite color is green. I enjoy listening to music on the radio and listening to live bands. Music is one of my favorite things to do. I love to sing songs and play the guitar, flute and keyboard. Many of you know that I play in a band on the weekends!

ReplyDeleteI like the three little Hawaiian pigs and the magical shark. Because it had lots of good characters, except for the big bad shark. Thats why I like the Three little Hwaiian Pigs,

ReplyDeleteHey Gregory!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Three Little Sharks. I think it is cool that the same story can be told in so many different ways. Have a great weekend.
