Fun Friday

This morning, we played a math game with sticks, seeing how fast we can put numbers 1 to 30 in numerical order. Some of us made new pictures with the tegu blocks so we took a picture and made a new model for the blocks. We are making ramps and also choosing animals out of our big mitten and writing the animal's name. Some of us are relaxing with a book in our library area. There are tracks in the snow, outside our class window. Who has been hopping by? We also went to the gym.

I liked writing words from the mitten story.

I liked looking at the tracks outside.

I liked reading books.

This morning I liked going to gym.

I liked helping my friend make a puffin and a turtle out of blocks.

I liked drawing the mural with my friend.

This morning I liked writing a lot of words.

I like sliding down the hills.

This afternoon, we read a book about doing good deeds and then talked about filling buckets with the people around us. We are working on self-regulation, knowing when we need to calm our bodies, etc.

We also learned about narwhals and made some too! Do you know that they have a big tooth!

Please send in library books on Monday. Thank you!

Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day! Today we are making predictions about whether or not groundhogs will see their shadow! We are using playdough, doing retells, doing puppet shows and making little groundhogs peeking out!

We are little groundhogs and we can see our shadows!

This afternoon, we worked with wiki sticks, built cooperatively with lego and made some groundhogs. We are working on our listening skills and following instructions.

Please note that tomorrow is NOT pizza day. Please make sure your child has a lunch. Thank you!
