Happy Tuesday!!

Wow!  What a beautiful, sunny Tuesday!  We had such a wonderful day that started with solving some challenging puzzles.  After puzzles, we had calendar time and our Happy Camper Interviews!  During our interview we learned some of our H.C. favorites.  Today's Happy Campers were Maxwell (AM) and Ashlyn (PM).  These students helped me with our calendar time and songs, which is pretty fun!  Everyone will get to be a Happy Camper of the Day, it will just take some time to get to everyone (20 days = 20 students)!  

After Calendar, we took a closer look at our story Animals in the Park, An ABC Book.  These animals all are doing something, some of those things we learned are realistic and some are not realistic, so we call stories that include things that are not realistic Fictional stories.  Then we learned about the the letter Bb.  After reading, we went outside for a quick brain break to enjoy the sunshine and have recess.  

Math was super cool today because we had a fun activity that involved socks, some are the EXACT SAME and some are SIMILAR.  Some were very tricky to find the differences, but we did it!  We also practiced how to rotate today for Reading Groups when we start reading group rotations.  Each student got a sticker at every table.  We practiced where to go, where to look, what signals to listen for and appropriate behavior throughout.      


Please put your child in an outfit tomorrow that you don't mind if it gets a little bit of paint on it.  Of course, we will try our very best not to, but we are painting! :)

Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
