MAKE CONNECTIONS:
"Miss Guy, do I need to double the n if I want to write running?" Wow, once again I'm blown away with my little pups and their abilities! It just makes me feel so, so happy to come in this room and hang out with your children on a daily basis!
Mr. Grinch showed up in our room! But he isn't going to be the mean ole' Mr. Grinch for very long! Every time someone completes a random act of kindness we are going to add to his ever so small heart. Hopefully, it will have grown at LEAST three sizes by Winter Party time...All hearts will be added to a random drawing for some "amazing" prizes on Dec. 21st (must be present to win)! As you can see we already have some pups helping that Grinch!
MATH:
Our calendar changed today! And what do you know...our pattern has to do with 3 dimensional shapes! I was naming attributes for our shapes and having the pups guess! Everyone, was on the right track! A game to play at home. Guess what I am "I have no vertices, no edges, but SOME faces. Two Faces! What am I?" "I have 4 corners, 2 long sides and 2 short sides, no edges, faces or vertices. What am I?"
As I told the pups today we are always looking for patterns. Not just color patterns but patterns in numbers as well. Can you see the pattern? What will tomorrow's number sentence be?
SCIENCE:
What a treat. Eliette brought in a booklet from the kids meal at Chick-Fil-A and it was all about the moon and it's phases...She notices a word "gibbous" as the moon started to grow. We talked about it and guess what...that is a term they will learn in an Upper Elementary Grade (4th I think). We are just getting started here in 313!
Then we watched a power point...to introduce our next study! Guess what we are going to learn about the SUN! We already knew quite a bit...we brainstormed some and we will revisit this map as we learn more or find out that something we thought was true maybe isn't!
TOP DOG:
We have a new top dog here in 313! I just love that she came in and was over the MOON excited! And all day she thanked me for picking her and told me how much she LOVED being the top dog! To be 6 and excited about the little things! Line leader, paper passer outer...
THANK YOU:
My sweet Owen, you make my heart smile with all your sweet little gifts! I LOVE that you MAKE them as well! Grover (well...it's been awhile since I watch Sesame Street. OBVIOUSLY this is NOT GROVER but ELMO!) is going to be a PERFECT addition to my tree (when I get one!)
We had another pup COMPLETE his Boosterthon pledge collection today! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! The collection day is DECEMBER 5, 2012 Let's get to 100% by then!
MOST everyone has brought in party money! I think we need 3 more! THANK YOU all for being so on top of things and supportive of Robertson and your special little pup!
Enjoy your evening and this CRAZY WARM weather...Really 80 and December...I'm not sure I'm liking it!
