The Mitten

We read a different author's version of "The Mitten" today. We discussed how it was similar/different to the other versions we have read. It was fun retelling the story of "The Mitten" using the flannelboard.
 
First he painted an abstract painting. Then after it dried, he decided to cut it a little, and turn it into a monster!

REMINDER: No School next Friday, Feb. 2. Teacher inservice Day.

Thursday

Sharing Time today...

• I wanted to mention that yesterday we had a practice Lockdown. The class did a great job sitting quietly in our classroom with the lights off, while we waited for an announcement from the office to say that the practice lockdown was over. (The school practices a lockdown and fire drills every year - just in case there would ever be an emergency)
• We did not have library class today, as Mrs. Wood (our Librarian) was away.

Winter activities

This young man decided to make his own version of "All about the number 1"

"Do you want to build a snowman?"  Yes, some kids did!
  
Busy time in gym class today!
 
More winter activities!

All about the number 3

Write Around the Room... on penguin paper!
        
Mrs. Grant wrote the numbers 10 and 19 on the Smart Board, and different kids came up and filled in the missing numbers in between. We are practicing reading and printing the "teen" numbers.

What do we know about the number 3?  We know lots! ...... including......we found 3 dots on a die, 3 dots on the dominoes, and put 3 magnets on the 10 frame. We showed 3 fingers, a tower of 3, 3 tally marks, found #3 on the number line, 3:00, and more!  We even made a chart to show everything we know about the number 3!

We had fun in Music Class today!
