Go Noodle:
Go Noodle is a website we use in the classroom for our movement breaks. I sent home info about kids creating their own Go Noodle Champs at home and then we can connect those champs with our school account! In case you missed it, here is what to do:
Classroom Fun:
For Halloween we made healthy Halloween spider treats! We used crackers, peanut butter, craisins, and crunchy noodles. It was a hit but the kids had a good suggestion for next year. Instead of craisins for the eyes, I should used chocolate chips. Yum!
We got to see the high school production of Grease, put on by Lisa Goetz. Wow. It was fantastic! After seeing the show, a trio of first graders built the set out of legos during recess!
Literacy:
We started our author study of Leo Lionni. This week we read Swimmy and the students made a picture to show how the school of fish had to work together to scare of the big fish. We are stronger together!
The students are working so hard with their independent reading! They continue to build onto the Good Habits of Reading. They love reading with their reading partners. During reading time, students are spread out all over the room enjoying their books. I love it!
We enjoyed hearing Ammi-Joan Paquette speak. It was interesting to hear about the writing process and to hear about all her books.
Mindfulness:
I love this picture I took of a couple of students during mindfulness. Sometimes the best way to be mindful is to just quietly watch the rain with a friend.
