Today was not as difficult of a transition as I had predicted. After a lovely and lengthy break we returned back and were off and running. This Monday marked our 60th day of school... We are officially one-third of the way through the school year! (Oh how the time is flying!)
For Social Studies this morning we read another story about pilgrim life and then completed a worksheet about things in the Past vs. Now. Students had to discriminate between things used in the past (milking cows) vs. things that are used currently (cartons of milk).
For Science, students cut out leaf silhouettes and worked with a partner to play a matching game. After they finished matching each of their leaves, they were challenged to create their own game. Their creativity impressed me and they seemed to really enjoy it, even claiming that it was "too fun to be science". We went to the Library before lunch and listened to a story about a bear who stayed awake from his winter hibernation to make preparations for Christmas.
After lunch we participated in our first Earthquake Drill. Prior to lunch we had a conversation about the importance of staying calm and following directions during the drill and all of the students were very efficient at finding a spot under a table to duck and cover. After this the students had math choice time while I worked one-on-one with students to assess Concepts About Print and being more math assessments.
