Writing our own words

Morning Meeting....
Our usual review of the morning chart. Today we had the activity of writing the letter K. Looks like we did learn how to write our letter K. Good job kids. We also had a special gift brought in from the Foley family. Thank you.

Else "A pretend pot of flowers."
Willow "A flower light."
Jack "A flower."
Nora "It's real flower seeds."
Beth Yes, this a a real flower that we will plant today. We will put it near Gunny and take care of it and see what happens to it."
All "Thank you Nora."

A quick shot of some getting the chance to plant our Amarillus bulb.

Morning Greeting....
High Five greeting, just as it says, high five your neighbor and say good morning. Good skills in many ways for these kids. Looking at each other in the eyes. Kindly giving a high five.  These social skills will be carried with them everywhere they go!

Book Corner....
Math Is Everywhere. By Brian and Jillian Cutting.

Math....
Number match. Everyone got a card with a number and they had to find the match and partner.

Secret number bags. We had a partner today and there was a random number of cubes  in the bag for the partners to figure out. Then they had to go around the room to find things that made their number. They could find objects, they could make equations, etc.  Deirdre came in to guess what our numbers were by looking at our posters we made.

Sharing....

Baden "Once me and Jack went scuba diving together and we saw a squid. And we jumped off the helicopter."

Thayer "Did it squirt ink at you?
Baden "Yes." 

Luca "Did it grab you?"

Baden "It almost did. But it missed us."

Lenora "were you scared?"
Baden "Yes, really scared."

Skyler brought in crystals.  "Luca gave them. They are really rocks but they have crystals in them. We have to use giant hammers to smash them."

Baden "They're cool."

Taber "Where did you get them?"
Skyler "I got these from Luca."

Ethan "Where did you get them and can they break stuff?"

Skyler "They can make dents because they are hard."

Willow "I made these necklaces at school."
Stella "I like them"

Thayer "What day did you make them on?"
Willow "Today."

Writing....

We had a writing activity today that focused on the kids writing a three letter word that they sounded out and then drew a picture to go with it. They have all been showing interest in writing words, sounding out letters to make words.
