Today when Mr. Nored walked in a lot of friends noticed his lip (he injured it at the last basketball game).  They asked what happened, and Mr. Nored said in such a polite manner that he would tell what happened during our share time.  During share time then after our friends took their turns, Mr. Nored shared his story.  I do not know if it was because it was him, or if it was because it was a story of trauma, but the children were such great listeners and so curious about how he was doing and if it hurt.  I was proud of them for being such a captivated audience!

Today we had a clock hunt where the children had to search for six different clocks around the room, and then put down what time on a cooresponding table.  The children really were excited about this clock hunt and did a really nice job telling the time around them.

So, we completed day 2 of biography writing today, and we had DeOnna and Saa share what they have worked on so far!  There were table of contents, thoughtful responses that they created from their interviews they did last week, and illustrations to showcase who they were writing about.  I am just so excited to continue to work on these and see what all of the children create to highlight their friends’ lives!

Heaven transferring her interview questions to her biography about Jamari!
