This short week we read A New Coat for Anna and some other Thanksgiving books about being thankful. This book was about a family who could not afford a coat for their daughter, so they had to trade items from their house for services. It started with the farmer providing wool, but they had to wait till spring. We talked about what it means to be thankful and how our giving assembly is helping those who are in need. Below are some photos from our annual OB Giving Assembly.
THE BIG REVEAL!
In math, we started a new unit on 3D shapes. We talked about how many faces, or flat sides, each shape has. We also talked about what in our lives around us are these shapes.
In reading, we continued to work on our reading strategies to decode tricky words. Students enjoy literacy centers, as I work with small reading groups.
In social studies, we talked about asking questions. Asking questions is an important part of social studies to learn from one another. We did an activity where each child had to come up with a question, then approach their peers by saying their name and asking their question. They had to sign each others survey with a yes or no answer.
We enjoyed the weather during choice time and used one of our SOAR rewards for an extra 20 minutes of outside choice time.
We also enjoyed watching Charlie Brown Thanksgiving as our latest SOAR reward. Students cozied up with their quiet time materials and enjoyed watching the movie together. Then, we created Thanksgiving turkeys to write about what we are thankful for!
Please let me know if you are interested in coming in next week to share about your culture or traditions in your family to go along with our social studies curriculum.
I hope you have a relaxing Thanksgiving.
I am so thankful for all KG students and families
Sincerely, Caroline McGee
