Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

After reading the story, Boxitects by Kim Smith, the students used the character strength of "teamwork" to work together to plan what they would build with boxes while listening to the ideas of all team members and brainstorming and creating a single blueprint of their group's design.  

Searching for the Letter M in Books

Introducing Our Phonics Mascot - Mabel

During our Phonics lesson, we learned the steps of how to learn a name which we will use to learn the names of all of the students in our class.  We began by studying and learning about the name of our new phonics mascot, Mabel the elephant!  We counted the letters in her name, studied them closely, and cheered each letter!  Then, we had fun finding things around our room that begin with the /m/ sound like in Mabel.

Introducing Our Math Mascot - the Count von Count

During our math lesson, we were introduced to our math mascot, the Count von Count who taught us about the number Zero (0) the Hero, along with the number one (1).  These numbers will begin our growing number collection.  The students also enjoyed listening to the book, The Count Counts Scary Things and counting the various scary things in the story.

Partner Match

In math, we had lots of fun comparing lengths to find our matching partner.  After finding our matching partner who had the same length strip, we spent some time asking our partner questions to get to know one another better.  Then, the students made puzzle pieces that fit together to remember the name of the new friend they had made.
