Tired Tuesday

Wow! We are TIRED today! Friends were telling me ALL DAY that they were tired, and some friends were caught napping throughout the day. I am sure they will be exhausted tonight and ready for bed when they get home. Yesterday was a busy and fun day! During morning meeting we went over our lock-down procedures. We talked about the weather and we sang our morning songs!

During our Inquiry into Language Arts we practiced the letter Cc. Ms. Gray played a Jolly Phonics video that had every song that we have learned so far. Our friends LOVED this! They were giggling and laughing and singing along with all of the songs. They knew the actions and the words! Ms. Gray was SUPER impressed. Then, today we learned a new song!! After we learned the song and sang it OVER AND OVER AND OVER (practicing the C sound), we made a list of words that begin with the letter C! Then we practiced writing the letter Cc in our awesome phonics journals.

During Math we showed Ms. Gray all that we knew about patterning. We are going to be starting our Patterning Unit! We colored patterns and identified which rows were patterns and which were not. I am excited to start the new unit. I am looking forward to all of the fun activities that come along with patterning!

For our Unit of Inquiry we reflected on the trip to the farm. We talked about how we did not get any pumpkins :(... then we finished up our art project for the hallway and put it on some pretty paper! After we did that we reviewed what animals & plants produced certain foods. Bacon - Pig, Honey - Bees, Bread - Wheat, etc. All of our friends are getting better about coloring the animals, plants and food the realistic colors of the items.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH TO MS. CHAN AND MS. KOO FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE ON THE TRIP! You were both incredible and I felt lucky to have you there with me! I appreciate the help so very much! Thank you again. :)
