Ask Me About Wednesday, February 1, 2017

We started our day with an amazing photograph of another way to fish.  The children noticed so many things!  We talked about the weather, balance, how he uses the net, what kind of boat he was in, why he doesn't tip over, and the children even noticed how happy this man was fishing.  The discussions the children have in pairs or triads before we discuss together are really amazing.  I love listening in to hear what they are thinking and wondering, and how they respond to each other.  Ask me to tell you about what I noticed.

We talked about food all morning!  We sorted food into food groups, learned and healthy and sometimes food, and finally the highlight of the morning for me, we met Captain Vegetable.  I'll not lie, we watched it twice.  

We also listened to the story Gregory, the Terrible Eater, by Mitchell Sharmat.  This is the story of a goat who doesn't eat what he is supposed to eat.  Ask me to tell you what Gregory ate at the beginning of the story and why that was a problem.  

Please check our homework page today.  I added a math game, the two new word wall words, and all the way at the bottom I added the Getty Museum link to games for children.  I also have handwriting worksheets if you would like to have your child practice more at home.  

Have a nice evening!
