Thursday September 18th

Today we had a very busy day! Thank you to Marcella and Marissa, our letter S experts, who brought in many things that start with the letter S, like a sponge, . Our new letter for today was letter E, and our letter E experts are Diamond and Bianca. We can't wait to hear their stories and see what they will bring for letter E. Our question of the day today was: Are you afraid of snakes? In writer's workshop, we practiced using new materials independently like the date stamp, and where to find paper if we need more, and putting our materials in the writing buckets when we're finished. We also learned about our classroom jobs, and the responsibilities that we have to help keep our classroom neat and clean. In the afternoon, we read some interesting books. The kindergartners read the book "Mrs. Wishy Washy" together, and the 1st graders read the book "The boy and the girl, the hat and the dress" in spanish, and practiced making predictions and talked about the patterns in the book. In the afternoon, we had our last day of free choice time exploring the tools we use in math, and talked about patterns during our math talks.
