Acceptance.

I've decided that we just have to accept that Thursdays are going to be crazy and we will get done what we get done.

We had morning choice and i-time and unfortunately, most are not using morning choice or i-time successfully right now. So, we'll brainstorm some ideas to allow all to be successful during this time to better themselves. After i-time, we had a great meeting. We greeted 2 friends that we hadn't talked to yet and then shared our favorite fall treats: some of you, I hear, make some really good pumpkin cookies!! :) We played, "Flub it," and then said the Pledge of Allegiance. We still had some time before heading to our mindset special so we finished up our timelines/story maps so we are pretty much ready to draft! After special, in The Wild Robot, the deer helped Roz to build a garden and a lot of the forest animals helped out! (In a really funny way, too!) We read independently and wrote about our reading and then discussed fluency and how to best read fluently. We even practiced some-maybe your kiddo can share with you tonight or this weekend. After writing in our planners, lunch, recess and quiet time, we did a Mystery Science exploration for "Will a mountain be there forever?" with sugar cubes! Our day ended with music rehearsal.
