Oct. 20

I am back from Jamaica! We changed our trip from Mexico to Jamaica because of the hurricane hitting Mexico on the same day we were supposed to arrive.
I missed the students and am excited to be back. I got lots of hugs today. Hope all of you had nice long weekends
Morning Meeting-We introduced our new Alpha Friend today-Mimi Mouse. For our movement activity we did actions to the Mimi Mouse song. For our quick share, we shared something fun we did while Mrs. Milow was gone. We did Surprise Suitcase and Letter Bucket
specials-We had art today
Reading Activity-It was green day today. For our shared reading, we "read" Go Away Big Green Monster on sentence strips while showing the pictures using the flannel board set. We made our mini green books. We read it to 2 friends. We are making a color book and made the green page today. We made "Big Green Monster" headbands.
*Mimi Mouse homework went home today. It is due on Friday. Everyone turned in the Sammy Seal homework! Thanks for helping your child with their homework!
Rest Time-We read "Green Eggs and Ham" and "Little Green Snake".
Math-Calendar and Calendar book. We played the domino addition game. We rolled the dice and wrote the numbers on the domino play mat. Then we wrote addition sentences to match our dominos.
*We spent some time reviewing classroom rules. The sub had some trouble with kids listening and following directions. We reviewed the rules and talked about how these rules apply even when Mrs. Milow is gone.
