CARE Time

On Tuesday, Miss Carey came in and did a lesson with our students. She read them "The Judgmental Flower" which is a story about appreciating our differences. The students loved it! They practiced being tiny seeds and blooming into beautiful flowers with their bodies.

In math, we sometimes practice counting to 100 while exercising! There are a few pictures below showing this.

Same and Different

In math, we are learning about the terms "same" and "different." Students compared two objects and explained what was the same and different. Students created three block stacks and compared to their partners, focusing on what was the same and different.

Reader's Workshop

During reading, we began talking about "information" book (non-fiction) and story books (fiction.) Students sat with a partner and explored information books and realized they can learn just from looking at the pictures. Then, we also looked at many symbols that students recognize from stores or shows. Next, students explored some games to practice with letter identification. Last, students worked with different shaped sticks to create mat man. These sticks will be used to create letters and assist with handwriting.

Students will bring home a book today called "The Birthday Party" that they want to read to you!
