Red Ribbon Week: Wear Red

Our assembly got canceled today, but our class did an excellent job dressing in tons of red! This morning we read The Ugly Pumpkin, a story of a pumpkin who didn't look the same as the rest of the pumpkins. In the end he realized that it was because he wasn't a pumpkin after all, he was a squash.

For math today, we learned the poems and did rainbow tracing for 3 and 4.

Start at the top loop once loop twice,

That makes a three look very nice.

Go down and over and down some more,

That's the way to make a four.

Today we read The Kindness Quilt and created our own kindness quilt. We integrated math into it as we expanded our study of patterns into border patterns, having students create a border pattern for their piece of the quilt. During that time we also were working on painting paper plates orange (we will be using them for a science project that will be completed later this week/early next week).

After lunch we visited the Computer Lab once again, student learned another portion of the Jumpstart Kindergarten game and are really beginning to show a grasp on navigating the program.When we got back, we had a little choice time, more plates were painted, we distributed Book Orders, and filled in our Stoplights before heading home for the day.

Don't forget to wear Hats tomorrow!
