Today we were so lucky to have Clay for Kids work with us to make a very special project. Ask your child what they made today! We did a great job of listening and following directions...we had a lot to do! Ask your child what they learned about clay...Where does it come from? What do you use to glue clay together? What happens to it if you leave it out in the air?
Thank you to all of our volunteers who helped make today so much fun!
This week we have been wondering what people do in the fall. We brainstormed a list and then drew about it in our visual journals. We worked on writing complete sentences and finishing the sentence starter:
"In fall we__________"
We also made our own fall leaves from paint and shaving cream! We transformed our classroom tree into an autumn tree...we wonder how will we change it for the next seasons!
In math today we played a game called "Pumpkin Bump". We had to count the dice in an efficient way (subtilizing, counting on) and tried to bump our partner off of the game board!
We had a fire drill today. We have already had 3, and will have 3 more this school year.
Our Grade 1 Assembly is next Friday October 25 at 9:15 in the gym. We would love you to come watch what we have been working on!
