Happy Tuesday!

     I was so happy to see the kiddos back in action this morning.  They have been enjoying coming into the classroom and getting to choose to either work on the computer, play on the carpet or start their morning work.  This has allowed for my early birds to not get started too early on their work, but to allow time for my late arrivals to get started about the same time.  Life is much easier this way! : )

     The kids were SO excited to see Lionel the Lion back in our class.  Lionel is a puppet that the kids absolutely LOVE.  He taught the kids about getting sleep and not talking back to mom, and the kids helped Lionel figure out what he should do about these problems.  The kids laugh HYSTERICALLY when they get to talk to Lionel.  We really can't have Lionel with us for too long in the morning because the kids want to talk to him about everything.  It really is adorable.

     Math has allowed us to review and deepen our thinking about ten frames.  We got to play some games on the Promethean board and then we got to cut and glue some examples of ten frames on our own.  We'll continue to review and learn more about ten frames for the rest of the week.

     This afternoon we learned about why we have rules.  After reading No, David, we then made a list as a class of reasons why we have rules.  The kids were very creative with their responses.  No, David was a hit in our class this afternoon.  The kids wanted to read it again because of one particular picture that finds David running down the street in a shocking way!

     We didn't get to go outside today because of the heat, but we got our wiggles out by doing dance videos on GoNoodle.com.  Our favorites? "The Cha-Cha Slide" and "Happy".

Pictures to come soon!!
