Monday We have changed up our mornings a bit, and while we still come to the carpet for attendance, we quickly move into our Morning Work jobs. For now, this is a soft start which has us playing, interacting, and exploring with our friends. The kids have responded well to the change, and seem to be enjoying this fun soft start. Mrs. Ormerod visited us and read us a story about whole body listening. This is something we learned all the way back in September, but it's nice to get a refresher on what it looks, sounds, and feels like. We visited Mrs. Layte in the studio and began our practice of OUR Christmas Concert song/moves. What fun! We returned to the classroom and practiced our Rr printing before home time. Any unfinished work was sent home for homework. Tuesday Mrs. Shea was away in the morning, and we had a new substitute help out for the morning. After eating, we went to the library to exchange books. Only about half the class exchanged. Please try to have your child return their library book BEFORE Tuesday's to ensure they get a fresh new book for the week. We returned to class and practiced writing on white boards. Mrs. Shea would say a sound, and students would write the letter. We put sounds together and wrote words! I love doing this with the kids, as they are so proud of themselves for writing words!! Some examples were S-A-T, B-A-T, B-I-N etc. Have your kids try this at home on paper. They love it! As an extra bonus, students wrote a 3 letter word, and tried sounding it out themselves, and shared it with the class. Wednesay This morning we had our first (of 2) Aikido workshops. Here are some pictures and videos. Thursday We practiced our Mm printing, and made Miss. Nancy a birthday card. We practiced our song for the concert, and Mrs. Layte taught us some moves to go along with it! Friday We made a Santa advent craft. So cute! Lots of skills were put to work in the creation of this Santa. Lots of sore fingers! Our buddies came for a visit. Some of us stayed in Mrs. Shea's class, while some went and did exploration in Mrs. Lock's class! Fun with white boards. Have a great (extended) weekend. We'll see you on Tuesday!
