What's happening in the Lucky Duck Class?
- We are collecting pajamas for the Scholastic Pajama Drive
- We have updated our schedule to better meet the needs of the Lucky Duck students. Some of the changes include - moving away from free play to a longer choice time first thing in the morning. We are also including small groups during choice time. This allows us to meet everyone's needs in a smaller group setting. Groups will continue to change and grow throughout the year. Snack time is a little bit longer - this class of Lucky Ducks is very social and truly enjoy snack time. Our handwriting time is near the end of our morning
- We have started talking about Family Traditions
- A family homework project was sent home today
- No School November 10th and 11th
- December 3rd is conferences - More information will come home shortly
- Save the Date - December 17th will be our family show.
We began a new unit this week; Family Traditions.
Theme concepts for this unit are:
-A family is a group of children and adults who care for each other.
-A family tradition is a special way of doing things
-Family traditions may be connected to ethnicity
-Traditions are observed with different frequencies
-Traditions can take many forms: food, activities, and clothing
-Traditions have common themes
Some questions we will answer in this unit are:
-What is a family?
-What is a family tradition?
-Why doesn’t everybody have the same tradition?
-Why are some traditions seasonal and some aren’t?
-What are your family traditions?
