Drug Free Week & Portraits

Random Photos & Folktales

A few random photos I wanted to share, and a folktale activity. We sat in a circle and talked about how folktales are stories passed on from generation to generation. Also, I reminded them that a lot of times the details in folktales may get mixed up as they are passed down, however the moral or lesson always stays the same. Our folktale generation circle was hilarious!

Skype & Lincoln

We had an awesome Skype last week with a meteorologist from the news. It was awesome, and incredibly informative. Leigh Spann even took us on a tour around the studio. The kids were able to ask questions, and connect with what she was saying. It was fascinating, even for us, adults!

 

We also learned about Abraham Lincoln, and how to ask questions while reading an informative stories.

2 Half Days, Fall Craft & Questioning

We had a great week, considering it was shortened and fast-paced. I love each and every little one in my class so much, and upon finishing all parent conferences have learned how much each student has already grown. It makes my heart smile. I do a "caught ya" (doing awesome when they don' think I am watching) ticket drawing everyday, and then a big drawing on Thursday. This week I drew a name for the big drawing, and the reward she chose was to pick our Fun Friday activity. In honor of Fall, she chose a beautiful Q-tip paint project, combined with a Fall writing activity. I just LOVE the way they turned out! AWESOME!
