Another fun week of learning is over. I am truly enjoying this class.
WILD THINGS - I read "Where the Wild Things Are" to the class, then the students all made Wild Thing costumes. The next day, they got together in groups and made up Wild Things number stories. Of course, to finish off, we had to have WILD RUMPUS too. Here's a video of our work:
Friday was an especially busy day. In the morning a Grade 1 teacher from a Cambodian school came to visit. She was surprised that my class was able to write, and that they were so quiet.
In the afternoon, Zoe's Mom brought baby Hannah for Zoe's Show & Tell, then we celebrated Zoe's 7th birthday. As soon as that was finished, we joined 2 other classes for a Wild Rumpus to finish our work on "Where the Wild Things Are." (See the video below) If the Cambodian teacher had still been with us, she would NOT have seen such a quiet class!!
SOCIAL STUDIES: The current Social Studies unit is “What is a Community?” We began by talking about ourselves and getting to know each other then discussed the word community. We decided that our classroom is a community so the children wrote a list of rules to ensure our community runs well. This week we will talk about the people who work/help us in our school community, and who works/helps us in the Woodlands Community. We will also go on our first field trip, walking around the local community to see who works there.
