Rain rain go away..

Writer's Workshop: Today we reviewed the layout of Sourcebook (pictures on the top and words on the bottom) and wrote another entry. Some children chose to write about the Elves and the Shoemaker field trip while others found the rain to be an inspiration.

Math: We discussed the number 6, practicing formation by doing a rainbow tracing sheet. We also began work on our "Book of Six" which will be completed over the course of the week. Using grid paper, students create various different formations by filling in six squares that must be touching.

The Potluck: We read Potluck which is a book that uses the alphabet to create a tale of children who are bringing items to a potluck. The rule in the book is that each page is for a different letter, on that page the child's name and the name of their food item starts with that letter. After reading the story, we brainstormed some foods that we might be able to drink if we were to have a potluck in our class. We will be making a class book with these choices (which students used to create their own page).

Computer Lab: Today in Computer Lab students were introduced to three new applications in the Jumpstart Advanced Kindergarten program.
