Happy Friday 1S Families,
It was a short week for the kids but, as always, we were busy making, learning, singing and playing!
Bird work had us exploring beaks! We were real scientist experimenting with different tools to model bird beaks. We gathered data, discussed our findings and made connections to real birds!
The children have been very interested in sharing and learning about winter holidays that different families celebrate. This is a nice opportunity to connect to our community and family study. They really enjoyed hearing Christmas Daddy and Hanukkah Momma by Selina Alko, a story about a family celebrates Christmas and Hanukkah in special ways. We also read another book called, Celebrations of Light to learn about winter celebrations around the globe.
We had a blast with our mystery guest this week! Jasper's mom, Abigail, came with her guitar and we got to sing and dance to some of our favorite songs. 1S is a big fan of the Beatles! Thank you Abigail!
During our Community Time, we read the Homes and Nest book written by 1S. We loved hearing about what, makes a home a home for our classmates. After the reading, we worked together to create a cover that represented each of us!
In Math, Rosemarie gave us a problem solving challenge. She tripped and and dumped several decks of cards on the floor! Then we had to come up with a strategy to figure out how many cards are in one deck. This was challenging but we came up with some great strategies.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Best,
MY and Amanda
