This week the kids started learning about patterns and cycles during calendar time. We also read a lot of books about how we belong and that it's ok to be different. We also started learning about how to fill and dip in each other's buckets. We finished the week by learning about each other through the kids presentations about their all about me bags.
This week the kids really settled into the routines of grade 1. We started our first science unit that has us looking at and learning about what a scientific investigation is. We also learned about the consonant sound wall and the vowel valley and how to use them for UFLI. The week was ended by the class earning a mini marble party and we watched an episode of magic school bus.
