Wednesday!!!

Today during morning meeting we sang our morning songs and learned what it means to be "Knowledgeable." We watched a story on the computer about Officer Buckle who was VERY knowledgeable about safety. He was knowledgeable because he had a lot of information stored in his brain. After we heard the story we talked about the characters of the story and then the beginning, middle, and end of the story. After we discussed this we wrote in our journal about how Officer Buckle was knowledgeable.


During Math we learned how to sort 3 different ways! We practiced sorting with a team of our friends. We first separated the manipulatives by color, then we separated them into numbers, upper case and lower case letters, after that we tried to put them in order! A lot of our friends were jumping ahead and wanting to make patterns with their manipulatives! I had to remind them we aren't making patterns today, we are sorting. We went around the room and talked about different things in Ms. Gray's class that were sorted.

During UOI we reviewed where our food comes from and then we acted out the different processes for each item. One of our friends brought up how we make hot-dogs..... or any animal... which was a little sad, but we moved on quickly from that one! After that we did a matching worksheet and our friends were making noises of the animals and helping other friends if they maybe needed a little help.

Ms. Gray was VERY pleased with the kind words today. We are working on this and all our friends know to remind each other (in a kind way) to use kind words. She has already seen a HUGE improvement by over-hearing some of the conversations. It's still a work-in-progress but we are getting there!!

The students had a lot of fun today! They were VERY well-behaved and earned LOTS of stickers. We even were the first ones to the cafeteria for dismissal! (FIRST TIME EVER!!!)
