Another good day getting to know each other.

Getting to know you ~

As we get to know each other, our class becomes more and more of a community.

One way that we are sharing who we are is by creating our personal t-shirt(above). Each child answered questions in writing or a sketch  such as ,"What is your favorite food?" or "What do you like to do when you are at school or at home?". These were all answered on our t-shirts which now hang on our clothes line in the classroom. Each student shared important information about themselves. We then wrote in our journal and expanded our work with details while staying on topic. At Morning Meeting we played a game called "Just like me". It was easy to see that we shared many common ideas and yet we were still individuals.

We went to the Library today. Library will be every Tuesday. We also went to the Computer Lab. They just happened to be on the same day. Computer is every day four which is the six day rotation used by the Middle School.

Picture Day is next Monday.

Tomorrow we have Art as our special. 

We have spent time looking at symbols in our everyday life. Ask your children about different symbols and what they represent.
