This morning we read Waiting Is Hard by Mo Willems to help facilitate a discussion about how to show expected behavior, even when waiting. We also watched a video with Cookie Monster as we sang a song about waiting! Taking deep breaths, playing a quiet game with a friend, or sometimes just doing something different are great strategies to make waiting easier.
We spent about 12 minutes independently reading today (yay!) as we continue to build our stamina for independent reading. I was then able to meet with a guided reading group and give new books for the children with whom I read.
We ended our day watching a great rap song about 3-D shapes. The Kindergartners then sorted shapes by cylinders and cones. They will continue this activity tomorrow morning.
