Compost

Morning Meeting.....
Composting Assembly this morning. We met in the gym to discuss the new composting system we will be participating in. Ask your child what "can" go into the compost and what "does NOT" go into the compost.
High five greeting...is all about seeing your neighbor and passing a high five and saying "good morning".  A great way to start the day.


Math....
Today we worked on describing and communicating positions of shapes using the words above, below, beside, in front of, next to and behind. 
We worked with partners while directions were given about where to "position" our bodies using the key words as described above.

Language Arts....
We reviewed all the letters of the alphabet that we have learned. We also learned a new letter Yy. Yellow crayon, yarn, yellow marker, yak, yams, yo-yo.

We can be teachers too! And teachers we are. We reviewed all the letters one at a time, each letter having a different child being the one to teach it to us then we repeat what we learned.

We read A Hat for Mrs. Goldman by Michelle Edwards. "[A] celebration of winter mitzvahs, or kind deeds. Karas’s adorable, radiant art adds to the heartwarming mood." 

We continue to talk about ways to be kind to others. It is important to continue this conversation at home as well as at school. Great lessons are being learned throughout the day about kindness, great habits to carry on as they get older too.
