We started our day with a wonderful School Meeting. There was a presentation given by the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society explaining (in a grade-appropriate way) about these diseases and asking for our help! There will be a collection box in each classroom, collecting change from around the house. The hope is to see how much our school can collect for this worthwhile cause!
Elsa's family also joined us this morning as her Star Readers. Thank you for spending time in our classroom. :-)
We also had our first official Reader's Workshop! The Kindergarteners were so excited to have 10 minutes to read in a comfortable place in the classroom. Using the strategies learned, the children read quietly and at the end shared how proud and happy they felt during this time.
During math, we looked at different types of shapes. The children shared observations about "shapes with lines", "shapes with curves" ,shapes that looked similar to one another, and other obersvations Tomorrow, we will make a shape collage after hearing one of my favorite songs- The Steve Songs Swing Along Shape Song!
