Highlights
·
This week our class
worked together to write a story about a gingerbread dog. We used a story organizer to help us plan our
story before we began to write. Next
week each student will plan and write their own gingerbread story.
·
In Math we worked on
estimating a group of objects. We
learned that using a referent, such as a group of 10, can help us make a
reasonable guess.
·
In Health we talked about
feelings. We are using a program called
the Zones of Regulation, which helps students identify their feelings and
develop strategies to self-regulate their emotions.
·
In Science we tested
different materials to see if a magnet could still attract a paperclip through
them.
