Yet, we had a lot of fun inside! The children were so excited to share my birthday with me today- I was touched by the many beautiful cards and words of kindness that the KIndergarteners shared with me. I feel so lucky to have spent my birthday with your children :-)
We finished our Literacy Centers this morning- each child has now a new book in his/her book bin, along with strategies to figure out unknown words. Next week, many will be getting new books in their guided reading books! We also draw our self-portraits for the month and went over the expectations for a self-portrait. The children had a "checklist" in front of them while drawing to make sure they showed all the different parts of their faces in their drawings!
We finished our day with our first math measurement activity. The Kindergartners worked in partners to measure specific items with paper clips and then record their measurements. We were emphasizing "end to end" measurement and making sure that we lined up the paper clips were lined up as we measured. We will continue this activity tomorrow morning.
Have a great afternoon!
