Sunny Wednesday

We were having technical difficulties with SeeSaw and wanted to have communication about our day with the parents and students so we decided to return to the blog!

We were very busy in the owl class this morning.  We worked on our fine motor skills ripping pieces of paper, glueing and cutting apple shapes.  We also worked on different puzzles.  We worked on our number recognition with number tracers and our letters with tangrams and letter shapes. We also went to gym class today and worked on our gross motor with volleyballs and playing hockey with pool noodle sticks. Some of us relaxed and read some books together and some of us worked on cooperating and sharing while working in the kitchen.

Here are the students' comments about our morning so far:

I liked playing with volleyballs.
