We read this story

2nd steps....

After taking a few minutes to look at this

picture.... 

we all talked about how we thought

she was feeling by looking at her face.

The children said they thought she was sad, mad, or frustrated.

She was probably feeling all those things

Frustrated is the word we concentrated on

Titanna was feeling frustrated because she 

could not get here shoe tied..

We talked about ways to CALM

Today we brainstormed ideas

for what we want to learn about next.

Last Thursday a few friends had said

zoo animals and space....

we will ask tomorrow's friends

too and keep putting out new things 

and see what sparks the most interest

CENTER TIME

The animals I found were not

exactly zoo ---more

pets for a vet center

and a rocket ship

Also making creations

For a creation and

language arts assessment

A variety of materials..

the children can create and use the material

however they would like

Then they told

me about what they made

Building with the 

magna tiles...

Luke was exercise leader

Running In Place

Zoey was yoga instructor

Ski Pose

Prayer Requests

We finished with a few extra minutes..

So we played MYSTERY BEAN BAG 

Each bowl has a number 

1-12

I asked the children to close their 

eyes and I hid the bean bag.

Then I go down the line of kids and the 

children can guess a number...

Then I give clues...

like the bean bag is under a bowl

with a number BIGGER/SMALLER

than

the number that was guessed

and I also can give more than one clue..

Like this one was..

it is under a bowl with a number bigger than 5

but smaller than 7

This is such a great game...

reinforces number recognition

problem solving

listening

understanding concepts like BIGGER/SMALLER

and the understanding value

of the number (like 5 is smaller than 8)

Simon was our

line leader
