September Already?

Well, today is September 5, 2013....this year is flying by already! We have been hard at work here at APS. We have completed our first week in our reading series and are half way through Chapter 1 in our Go Math series. Last week, our story was Iris and Walter and we discussed rural/urban communities. We completed a bubble map, writing, and barn as a project relating to "Rural Living".

This week is one of my favorite weeks!!! Our story is called Exploring Space with an Astronaut and the kids love it.....well I LOVE it to! There are so many fun books, video, and activities that relate to the Solar System and Astronauts. Yesterday, we created the anchor chart below and students began their writing titled, "Going to the Moon"! I can't wait to share their finished projects with you all!

Finally, we have been working to add information to our Math Journal. This is my first year to do them by Chapter and so far we are loving them. Check out some of them out below:
