ELA test practice

Kaelynn came up to the board to guide everyone through what she thought this particular answer would have been given as a grade on the ELA STATE TEST. She said she was looking to see whether the child answered the question and then remembered to give two details to support their answer. They did!

Dance Performance

The children were once again amazing! Today they performed what they've learned about Ireland for their friends in UPK-2.

Warm Weather

This afternoon we took our work outside to enjoy the warm temperature. We read an article about, THE MAGICIAN OF THE SEA. Ask your child why the octopus is considered a magician.

Measurement

This morning we talked about how to tell time to the minute. We also discussed how to distinguish the difference between A.M. hours and P.M. hours. Then the kids were partner to work on some word problems together.

Read Aloud

The kids love to follow along as I read to them from the ever moving novel, WONDER. It's a story that touches people of all ages. 

Story Telling

We had a chance to work with two amazing storytellers last month. Kaelynn and Anthony had an opportunity to participate.



Reflection

Here's a couple treasured pictures I found that I missed sharing with you.
