Marvelous Monday

Students enjoyed sharing their weekend news, exciting events and things they like about spring during our community circle today. Such a wonderful opportunity to practice sharing ideas clearly and learning to respond and listen to others.

Both AM and PM enjoyed invasion games in their Phys. Ed class with Ms. Nanavaty. This wonderful weather has the kids very excited about playing outside and riding bikes and scooters.

Students used their imaginations to envision our class pet, Goldy, living in an ocean home. What would be around her? What other animals would be around? Who would be her friends? Where would she sleep and hide?

  • there would be stingrays (Piper)
  • maybe sharks chasing her (Brix)
  • an octopus (Solveig)
  • some fish, like Nemo-so a clown fish (Zoey)
  • a whale-a humpback whale (Wyatt)
  • there would be coral (Anya)
  • lots of seaweed (Owen)
  • some rocks (Taylor)

Students completed a drawing and written work to share their ideas. Students are encouraged to use our sight words in their writing, use environmental print and sound out words.

Rylie, Divya, Blaire and Skylar share their underwater ocean home for Goldy. (PM)

Anya, Ryder, Cash and Solveig share their ocean imaginations. 

PM Ocean Homes for Goldy

AM Ocean Homes for Goldy.

The #7 is very exciting. Students demonstrated their ability to represent numbers using tally marks, dice, number lines, fingers, ten frames and pictures.

Listening to the story, Rainbow Fish, taught us all the value of sharing. Students imagined Goldy swimming with Rainbow Fish. (AM) Tomorrow PM will share in this story.

Thomas did a most excellent job of sharing his creation. Using a sparkly piece of paper, pipe cleaners and google eyes, Thomas created a fabulous robot!!! Students loved hearing about his plan and how he made everything stick so well. Way to go Thomas, we love your creation.
