Current Study: Beginning the Year

Investigation: How do we make and keep friends? How can we part of a group?

Social Emotional Target: Listening

Mon: Today we had a special visitor come into our classroom. Mr. Nye our vice principal stopped by to answer questions the students made for him. We had such a great time! During small group we learned about our new weather station at the discovery table! Students loved our mini tornado simulator and learning how to use their weather journals. We re-read the Gingerbread Man.

Tues: This morning we made placemats for us to use when we cook in school. We had 2 guest visitors Ms. D our school social worker and Mrs. Feibelman our guidance counselor! We celebrated Olivia's birthday! Thank you for the yummy cupcakes! Mr. Cheetah our pet fish is no longer with us. We did get a new fish and voted on his name! Our new pet fish is named Unicorn the Blue Soda Pop!

Wed: Today we enjoyed indoor gross motor time. We practiced balancing, throwing and catching. We began talking about friendship and made a list of what it means to be a friend. During small group we worked on our weather journals, our self portraits, and geo boards. We read the story Be kind! Today our gingerbread man got loose in our school!! We tracked him down into a kindergarten classroom! It was so much fun!

Thurs: Today the fire department came to visit! It was so much fun and we received a water bottle and a hat! We also played a sorting game about what makes a good friend!
