Wacky Week: Day 4

This morning during calendar, while counting the number of sunny days this week, we counted in seven different languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, Portuguese, and French. It's excellent to have such diversity brought to the table.

We also read Jason Alexander's children's book Dad, Are You the Tooth Fairy? It was a cute story to explain the mystery behind the tooth fairy.

We worked on individual Apple books. They contained Red Apples, Yellow Apples, Green Apples, and Blue Apples... Students colored the illustrations and underlined color words. These books were sent home in Thursday Envelopes today.

Our Social Studies lesson today centered, once again, around School Workers. Students were instructed to match workers' job titles with images of those workers.

This afternoon, after lunch, we read A Picnic in October. The story was about a family who celebrated the Statue of Liberty's birthday with a picnic. This peeked the students interest and we decided to go on Google Images and find more information about Lady Liberty.

DON'T FORGET - - Book Orders are due Tomorrow! :)
