Brrrrr...

While it was a bit chilly in the woods this morning we still had a lot of fun!  We talked about how most of the leaves have fallen off the trees and make a rustling sound under our feet as we walk.

I read The Paperboy by Dav Pilkey to start Writer's Workshop and discussed how Dav Pilkey uses dark colors like black and dark blue to show darkness and yellow to show light - the yellow moon and stars, yellow from a lamp and night light and yellow from the boy's bicycle light.

During Math we discussed how there are different ways to break apart a number of objects.  I showed four shapes on the board and then broke it apart into 2 and 2.  One way to write this is 4=2+2 and we read it ias 4 is equal to 2 plus 2.
