Last week we had a discussion about how we needed the numbers updated in our room because they were falling apart which caused them to be difficult to use.\u00a0 The solution was for the children to use some various materials to make the numbers.\u00a0 They used toilet paper rolls to make the beautiful numbers and then they painted them.\u00a0 Today the Butler students put them up on the wall, and boy they are BEAUTIFUL!!\u00a0 You can see the children in them so I am just so excited about it!<\/p>\n

Last week I read a book about space.\u00a0 During and after the children were asking all of these great questions about the planets and space.\u00a0 Then Mrs. Argus’ class came in and shared their ideas of composting and starting a garden.\u00a0 There was some interest in this subject.\u00a0 Today, I asked the children if they wanted to study space and planets or gardens.\u00a0 The resounding response was space!\u00a0 So, we are going to venture into the world of space with the children.\u00a0 There were a couple of friends that showed interest in gardens, and later Mr. Nored was giving some great ideas about how we can incorporate their interest into the study of space.\u00a0 We are excited to see where this goes!<\/p>\n

With our class venturing towards space, we were wondering if anyone has any big boxes that we could use to make something in our room next week.\u00a0 If you do, could you please send them in so we can use them?\u00a0 THANK YOU!<\/p>\n

Yesterday we began talking about expression in Reader’s Workshop.\u00a0 I read one of Mo Willems’ Piggie and Gerald books without any expression at all, and the children were so funny with how they responded to me!\u00a0 They were saying, “What is wrong with your voice?”\u00a0 “You usually read it with excitement and you read it slowly.\u00a0 Today you are reading it fast and making it boring.”\u00a0 Today, Mr. Nored read the same book but with A LOT of expression, and the children responded so well to this style of reading.\u00a0 We are going to continue to look at expression in Reader’s Workshop.<\/p>\n
