G. Washington hats

Show and Tell: Alana shared today her oragami paper that her grandmother brought from Japan for her. She shared several shapes that she created with the help of her brother, Julian. Some of our favorites were the crane, cats, and dogs. She also brought oragami cups that she created to share with the class.


Reader's Workshop: Students practiced Private and Partner reading in their table teams.

Social Studies: We discussed the set-up of the American Flag. The three colors that the flag contains are Red, White, and Blue. The stripes are red and white in an AB pattern. The smaller rectangle in blue and filled with white stars. We discussed that there are currently 50 stars (the number of US states) but that the first flag had only 13 stars (the number of original colonies).

Art: We created three-sided George Washington hats which were adorable. They even had a tuft of white "wig" sticking out in the back.

Computer Lab: We played an Arthur Math game in which students counted items and matched with numerals as well as sorting (at various levels).
