Our Day Today!
Today we did some brainstorming during Writer's Workshop about how we can be safe and fair on the playground during recess! We read the book The Recess Queen to help get our thoughts brewing.
We added the next letter of Pinkerton Pride today and had a fun group discussion over how to "Remain Safe" at school. We made another T-Chart to compare what remaining safe looks like and does not look like at school. Then we read the story, Officer Buckle and Gloria to help get ideas for other ways to be safe. The learners worked at their table groups to create their own T-Charts together.
In order to get to know our school better, we went on a little Scavenger Hunt today! After reading Charlie the Caterpillar and talking about the ways we should treat others, we went on a hunt for leaves that Charlie could eat! We hot all kinds of hot spots in the school, like the office, the nurse's clinic, the library and all the specials rooms!
