Sept. 17

 Hello everyone!

Today we started with a morning meeting to discuss comfortable and uncomfortable feelings. We revisited some books that we read throughout the week that explained some feelings and feeling-words. We talked about what a comfortable feeling might feel like in our brain and body. We listed some comfortable feelings on a chart and decided we would talk more about uncomfortable feelings on Monday and discuss times we might have felt one of these feelings and how we handled it. 

We filled in our calendar and practiced skip counting by 2s. We looked at a 100s chart to see the skip counting pattern in action. 

We worked on the number 3 and then completed the number 3 in our printing books. We looked at some examples of our friends printing books to see what they were doing really well so that we could work to improve our own work. 

We took a break to eat snack and have our P.E. time outside on the compound. 

We returned to class to work on examples and non-examples of patterns. Each of us got a chart to draw a pattern and "not-a-pattern". Once we completed our examples and non-examples we glued the chart into our math books - our very first page!

Next, we read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and worked on a guided drawing of a palm tree like the one in the story. We are going to be adding the letters of our names to the tree next week to create name art!
