Good Afternoon!

Children gathered at the table to explore the counting math box. Each child picked a number card and created the flower tower based on the number represented.

Lucy started at the smallest number, one, and continued to climb from there. She noticed that the towers were getting larger. “This nine tower is way bigger than the tower with just one circle!”, Lucy commented as she finished by completing the ten unit tower. (K.NS.7)

It was all about letting out creative juices flow this morning. Some used stencils. Some used just markers. Some even brought out the scissors.

In large group, we read ‘The Cow That Clucked’. The story started out by telling us that the main character, the cow, woke up one morning and had lost it’s moo! Instead of saying ‘moo’, it said ‘cluck’! The cow went all over the farm, which is where the story took place, asking all of his friends if they had taken his moo. FINALLY, the cow went to the hen and found out that they had switched voices!

We compared it to the following: imagine if Jackson and Addi woke up one morning sounding like each other! This of course became a game of ‘what if’.

We discussed the characters and setting as well as the main event; the cow losing his moo! (K.RL.2.3)

The theme during journals today was mountains and volcanoes! When one friend said they were drawing a volcano, the trend started! After the mountains and volcanoes were completed, friends drew different routes to navigate through the volcanoes/mountains. Lulu said, “See you go up this way to stay away from the bad part of the volcano.”

We hope you had a terrific day!
