This week, we've been working hard in Literacy Centers and Math Workshop. In Literacy, the children have been doing a lot of cutting and gluing. We've also continued working on white boards with our "special markers". We have a couple classmates who are pretty sick and have been absent most of the week. The children decided they wanted to make cards for their friends that haven't been here. Too sweet! So, each child made two cards each for our absent friends. This wasn't only a thoughtful activity, but one to reinforce writing and practicing their name. They did an awesome job with them. In Math Workshop, we've been sorting, classifying, and putting things in order. We've worked with several different manipulatives to do these activities in the classroom.
Today, Jahanvi's father came in and read The Sneetches and Other Stories by Dr. Seuss. The Sneetches is a wonderful story about how it's perfectly fine to be different from someone else. We also talked about how you wouldn't isolate someone because they looked different than you. The world is made of all kinds, right?! Thanks so much for coming in to share this story with us!
You may hear your child talking about "Cinderhog" - we watched as Betsy's class performed three different plays today (all spins off of Cinderella) during our Buddy time. Betsy's class split in three groups and each group wrote their own play, made the scenery, and directed their play. Each child was captured and engrossed in their performances.
Needed: We need lots of different types of fabric for a project coming up. If you or anyone you know has any extra fabric left over from sewing, crafting, etc., please pass it our way! We can also use old clothing - shirts, denim, etc. THANKS SO MUCH!
