New Parking - Please let me know if you need additional cards for pick up. The cards are most helpful if they are in the windows as you are driving down the 'live parking lane'.
Today we read The Button Box, and I showed the class my grandma's button box. They loved looking through the different buttons and making different collections by size, sheen, number of holes and colors. New pictures have been added to our blog from today's choice time.
This week we will continue our work on our Family unit. In this unit students will be exploring and talking about families and the many different ways family members relate to and help one another.
Theme Concepts:
- Family members have role names (mother, father, sister, brother, etc)
- Some family members live together, some live in other places but are still family members.
- Grown-ups in a family take care of children. Younger children need more care. Older children can help take care of younger brothers and sisters.
- Families do things together that are fun.
The stories we will read this week include:
Corduroy - Don FreemanThe Button Box
Small Groups:
