the whole school took a walking field trip to the duck pond this morning :)
Mr. Gray dropped off some loaves of bread so we got to feed the ducks, too!
we re-read Love Is a Family and counted the members of the families in the book. then counted the members in our own families.
"Irrepressible young Lily loves her mother dearly. But when it's time for Family Fun Night at her school, she worries...and worries. What will the other kids think when she just brings her mother? Will they be the strangest family there?
But when they arrive at Family Fun Night, Lily sees all her friends having fun with their families -- of every shape, size, and-color. She learns that there are as many ways of showing love as there are stars in the sky."
we learned to play a game called Busy Bees. the students had to listen very carefully to the color in the rhyme and then buzz around the room and find something of that color.
our question of the day:
this afternoon, we practiced our cutting skills...
painted with watercolors...
explored the counting bears...
and explored the magnifying glasses.
in the library this afternoon, we sat on the rug and read books instead of going to centers.
