Buzz from the Hive October


This “Buzz from the Hive” is all about “fall-tastic fun!”. Mrs. Smith transformed our  classroom into a fabulous, fall,  fantasy. Some of us have never seen leaves change  colors or pumpkins in a pumpkin patch. But, in Mrs. Smith’s room, we can smell pumpkin spice and apple  cider and we can almost feel the crisp fall air in the hot Florida heat. We have been busy bees working on lots of new things! Mrs. Smith taught us about adding details into our writing. We also have been doing our favorite Quick Write activity. We love sharing our writing with our class.  Also, in Math, we learned some new strategies for adding and subtracting numbers. Our class has also learned how to organize and display data by using graphs. Many of us have become math masters with our 2 x’s facts. We can’t wait to learn our 3 x’s facts.  Lastly, did you know our class has earned over 150  bonus points in Scholastic Orders so far?!? Our class loves reading books!  Mrs. Smith says she is going to use these points to buy us books to read and keep at home! Many of us have even read over 20 books for far and earned Reading Counts points!
This month’s top Bees to recognize are Jakeb and Wesley!
