We started our day studying these interesting nests.  The children were particularly interested in the octopus nest and the nest on the cliff.  Ask me to tell you which nest I found the most interesting.  
We had another SEL lesson about worrying.  We read a really great book for helping children learn about their worries called Avocado Feels a Pit Worried by Brenda Miles.  Avocado, the main character in the story, worries about everything.  His "what ifs" make it impossible for him to do anything.  His just sits in his house doing nothing.  He finds a way to turn his what if's around to make them positive.  I highly recommend this book for anyone who struggles with anxiety or worries.  In the back there is a lot of information about how to help your child with worrying and anxiety.  This author has a few other books we will be reading as well that are really great!
In math we are working with story problems, and representing them with pictures, number bonds and number sentences.  We can use the words "and" and 'is" in our number sentences or use the symbols + and =.  We are working with numbers 6, 7 and 8.

Have a nice evening!
