Monday

     After coming in from the playground, we quickly started our morning with our morning meeting. We then read If You Give a Cat a Cupcake by Laura Numeroff and talked about what we thought a cat would do with a cupcake. I had all kinds of answers from getting really excited to sitting on it. We then had fruit break and recess. Afterwards, we headed to music class with Kim. Kim says we have a very music-loving group and she's excited to work with your children. Have they been singing "The Big One" at home? They seem to love it and sing it in the classroom throughout the day.

     After music class, we came back to being our unit that really focuses on our school-wide theme: "Weaving a World Wide Web". We're beginning our journey by learning about ourselves and where we live. Next, we will begin exploring North America and travel to different areas by car, bus, motorcycle, and dirt bike across the country. We'll continue our focus on North America through October. 

     We started learning about ourselves and each other by reading All About You by Catherine and Laurence Anholt. We discussed what things we like, we don't like, people we live with, and how old we are. We then started a project where the children were to pick out our basic outline of a paper body and add eyes, a nose, their mouth, hair, and clothes. Only a few of us were able to complete the project today, but we'll continue it later this week.

We'll play outdoors again tomorrow. I have duty, so I'll be out on the playground as well. See you all tomorrow!
