Today we celebrate Victoria! We thank God for bringing Victoria to our school!
Happy 1/2 Birthday Victoria!
We also used the estimation jar as our check in today. This helps the children not only practice writing their names, but it also helps the children practice counting, one to one correspondence, number recognition, and of course estimation!
We started our day noticing the changes made in the classroom! The friends were excited to explore the new arrangement. :)
Outdoor play and exploration
We had fun playing in Mrs. Mudd's room today!
Some of the friends went to the Magic House in home field trip. If your child did not go today, he/she will go tomorrow or Thursday. :)
The Magic House focused on the math vocabulary words: small, medium, large.
They listened to a story about Clifford and then sorted objects based on sizes.
During small group time, we continued our exploration of shapes with the Geoboards. The children worked to makes various shapes on the boards and describe how they made them. This increases spatial reasoning and shape recognition.
We also practiced writing words in our journals with mrs. Buchholz.
We started Phase One of our Castle Project today! The focus of Phase One of a Project is to engage the children's prior knowledge about the topic. This serves a two fold purpose. Once the children share what they know, we can better understand how to best scaffold student learning next. Secondly, we are able to identify any misconceptions about the topic that need to be addressed throughout the Project.
We started webbing what we know about castles and what we want to learn about castles. We will use this web to not only see what the children have learned throughout the Project, but also to guide our learning throughout the project!
Hurray for beautiful weather in January!!
During Jesus time we learned the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers as found in Luke 17:11-19. We learned that because of sin in the world, we will experience sickness. However, God graciously saves us from the sickness of our sin-even though we don't deserve it. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, and in response to God's mercy, we give thanks for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ!
