Happy Birthday Annie!

Show and Tell: June shared a Spongebob Squarepants toy that was activated with water that he got from Burger King in March.

Readers Workshop: We practiced private and shared reading as well as Writing the Room while meeting with small groups for Guided Reading. Students are continuing to excel with their improvements in independent reading levels!

Music: Today we practiced walking into the cafeteria with all six classes, placing ourselves onto the risers and going through all of the songs in our concert.

Social Studies: We continued discussions that revolved around Earth Day, today examining maps. Students were asked to brainstorm places they've seen maps or what they've seen maps of. They noted seeing maps at places such as Great America, the Zoo, or in their car and recalled that these maps were of places such as states, countries, or even the Earth. We read through a picture atlas that was HIGHLY informative on topics from our Universe (cities ->countries ->Earth ->Solar System -> Universe) to things as specific as habitats including deserts, grasslands, and others.

Happy Birthday Annie: After singing Happy Birthday to Annie in regular, mixed up, and mouse voices we enjoyed a slice of cake that was brought in by her mother and nanny. For our final read aloud of the day, Annie selected her library book A Snowman's Christmas.
