Social Emotional Learning

This week we watched a video series on GoNoodle called the Mooderators. We talked about different feelings we all experience and what we do when we are having those feelings.

Reading

This week we read the famous fairy tale Cinderella. We read 4 different versions from around the world and found similarities and differences between them all.

France- Cinderella

Egypt- The King and the Sandal

Ireland- Billy Beg and his Bull

Russia- Cinderella on Stage

We were able to notice cultural differences and how the setting changed in each story. We also learned that you can tell a story without words, using movement and music. We watched a clip of the ballet Cinderella and shared what we thought was happening.

Writing

This week we did a lot of creative writing. We also spent time working on a Memory Book. This book is full of details about our school year. Not only is this a great memento, it helps students bookend the year by reflecting on all the moments we have shared as a class family. These kiddos are so ready for 2nd grade!
