Dinner Table Talk

We learned a lot about Penguins! (Miles)

Penguins live in Antartica. (Zach)

They eat fish. (Abby)

Penguins slide on their bellies.  (Adriana)

They have webbed feet.  That makes them be good swimmers.  (Ella)

They are really good swimmers.  (Dilana)

Their feathers change as they grow.  (Caroline)

Frakturs

Today we learned about the Mennonite community. We made Frakturs. These are pieces of artwork used for certificates, rewards, or decoration. 

Here are some common symbols used on the Frakturs...

Look at some of our awesome Frakturs!

Cause and Effect

Yesterday we learned about cause and effect.  First we watched a short clip that showed that when it rains it causes the effect of getting wet. 

Then we read The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash. We looked and listened for causes and effects and then pinned them up on our wash line. 

Today we read Animal Park. We read it a second time with a partner and then found causes to some of the effects found in the story. 

Our crazy elf!

Shubert is a STAR

Today we got together with Mrs. Lessard's class to learn some additional ways to calm down. This coincides with our second step social skills program. 

We read Shubert is a STAR. 

We learned how Shubert used 3 different strategies when he got upset. 

1. The balloon... pictured above. 

2.  The drain

3.  STAR...Stop Take a breath And Relax

We brainstormed when we could use these strategies...

Then we thought about a time we needed to calm down and chose one of the strategies we would have used. 

Last, we shared and demonstrated our strategy.
