Peek at our Week

All week long we've been learning about safety.  On Tuesday we read the book Officer Buckle and Gloria by Peggy Rathmann.

Students then worked with their table groups to make posters with safety tips for different areas at school.  When they were finished they presented them to the rest of the class.

This week we've also been learning about school helpers.  We visited the nurse's office and the principal and then drew the tools they use to help us.

Here we are visiting Mr. Weber our building engineer.  He took us into the basement of the school to see the boiler and the rest of his tools!

On Wednesday we did our Write the Room activity for the first time.  Students searched throughout the classroom looking for words with our letter of the week (M) in them.

Today students read the book Is This My Classroom? with a partner.

Then we went on a tour of the whole school!

Here's our whole class, including a new student who joined us today, out in front of the school.

 

A little choice time fun!

Pete the Cat

We ended the week last week with our new friend Pete the Cat!  We had a lot of fun reading and singing along to Pete's catchy songs.

You can use the link below to check out the songs and some Pete the Cat videos:

Students spent the afternoon working on a special Pete the Cat project...

Our Many Colored Days

Last Wednesday we started our afternoon by reading these color books with a partner...

Then we read the book My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss...

Afterwards students first drew their own pictures using only a black crayon...

Then students chose one watercolor color to paint their picture just like in the book!
