Today we were ultra productive. We started our morning with The Little Engine That Could. This is an excellent story, showing that persistence and confidence can be enough. It also tied into our Social Studies lesson, which was about this month's Lifeskill: Effort - "I will work hard."
For math we read The Raccoon Picnic which is a story that aims to help children with counting the numbers 1-5. We also had an opportunity to do a walk thru of the Book Fair. We did a read aloud of Freight Train, a Caldecott Award winner.
After lunch we went to the Computer Lab, during which we had a Fire Drill. After that, we had choice time. Some students chose to help paint a Thankful Turkey (to which we'll affix the home project feathers). To end the day, I read the children the story of Tacky the Penguin. The children loved this story about a penguin who marches to the beat of his own drummer. As a result, he saves the rest of the penguins from hunters.

Miss wagenaar,
I have one comment on the behaviour chart sent daily. It would be nice if the child's name is written on the signal sheet.:),so that we will be sure that it belongs to the kid carrying that.
Nikhil's Mom.
Excellent idea.. It's a new system that I've put in place and I myself am trying to work out the kinks and find ways to improve. Excellent suggestion, I'll work on that in the coming weeks :)
