ask me about tuesday, april 16, 2024

 A quick update with some pictures!  We have been talking about life long ago in Social Studies.  Today we visited the state of Utah.  I'll be catching up on sending home the postcards for the states we've visted lately.  We are havi
​ng all kinds of problems with the team printer, and the copier in the office but I'm hoping to get caught up soon!  The children listened to the story The Wheat Doll by Alison Randall.  This story is about a little girl who lived in Utah territory in the 19th century.  Mary Ann lives with her family and helps out doing chores.  She has a special hand-made doll that is filled with wheat seeds.  Ask me to tell you what happens to Mary Ann's doll.  We wrote about a key event in the story.  We will be working on adding details to our writing to tell more about the event.

In Social Studies, we played with some old fashioned toys today.  We had a great time trying out the different toys.  As I was taking pictures of the children, I noticed how well they work play together and are respectful of the rules we have for playing safely.  The made their own choices of what to play with and moved from toy to toy on their own, following our rules we talked about before starting.  They enjoyed the toys!  We will play with these more and will write an opinion about them later this week.  Enjoy the pictures I was able to take in between trying to play Tiddlywinks.  I have to say that we have some very persistent kids in this class who are determined to get those winks in the cup!  Ask me to tell you about the toy I liked playing with best today!

One of the best part of Tuesdays for me is that I don't feel rushed since we don't have a special.  We get to take a nice longer Brain Break.  We enjoyed Moana today from Disney Family.  

Have a great evening!
