What an exciting day! The students were so excited to be eating lunch at school that we had to have a review of the school rules because we just couldn't think of anything other than lunch!
Unfortunately, kindergarten got the last lunch time, so the kids had to hold off until 12:00 to eat...that wait was excruciating for some of them.
Since we didn't have any specials today, we decided to switch around our schedule. We started out with literacy stations while Mrs. Abbey worked individually with students at the reading table.
Next, we focused on the calendar, counting the number of days we've had in school, and talking about our morning message: what the students thought would be the best job for them someday.
We talked about being good listeners and how the students can show that they are listening (mainly looking at the person talking and not talking unless it's their turn). The students then took turns sharing their favorite food pictures and writing from yesterday.
We took a break to dance to The Freeze, then walked down the hall to complete a lowercase letter writing assessment.
Once back to class, we read a magazine article about shadows. The students are excited to practice some hand shadows at home tonight!
The last chunk of our day was spent in stations: writing, reading, and literacy centers while Mrs. Abbey worked with individual and small groups of students.
Thank you to all parents who sent back the white sheet telling me your child's lunch and pickup plans. It really helped me organize our day!
If you have not returned your parent-teacher conference sheet, please do so as soon as possible. Thank you!
Just a reminder that we would like all Valentine's and decorated Valentine's boxes to be sent to school tomorrow (or Friday at the latest). The students will be mailing their Valentines this Friday Feb. 11.
