Color Week: PINK

Today we started the morning with an Oral Language exercise: sharing about what we did over the weekend. This gave students an opportunity to practice both speaking to the large group and being good listeners. We reviewed that being a good listener includes sitting quietly as well as looking at the speaker.

Our day also included some worksheets centered around the color pink. In the afternoon we reread The Gingerbread Man. Most students were able to complete the often repeated lines "Run run, fast as you can, can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!".. After the story, we worked on a sequencing activity which involved cutting, coloring, and pasting six scenes into the correct order.

We also began talking about our shape of the week: SQUARE! We made Boxman Square (our newest character) and talked about the characteristics of a square. It has four corners, four sides, and all of the sides are even. Throughout the week we will complete more work similar to those that were completed with Curvella and circles.

Today was also library day, we went to the library, listened to Mrs. Williams read It's Tough to Be 5 by Jaime Lee Curtis. We also wrote our names on library cards and practiced the proper way to turn pages (grab from the corner, slide your hand down, and then turn).
