Marvelous Monday

Today we had a fire drill and as we knew it was going to happen we practiced in the morning. Some students volunteered to show what we should NOT do! This included running, stopping to get outside shoes, jackets or water bottles, and walking slowly. Of course after this we demonstrated and discussed expectations. After the fire drill, we made a chart of what we felt went really well and what we could improve upon. The class thought they did an excellent job of lining up at the door and quietly walking outside. An area to improve was staying quiet once we were outside.

All the Pillars of Care are important and have been discussed, with great student examples, since the first day of school. Today, there were many times when Care for Others was not demonstrated. We talked about how important it is for our classroom to show care. My hope is that in continuing to discuss Pillars of Care, our classroom will work together as a community of learners.

How many words do you know that start with the letter Ss and make an “s” sound? Ask your child for at least two examples! Some super words were shared. If a student had an example that did not start with the letter Ss and make the “s” sound, we talked about why we could not add it to our list. Here is a little song we learned:

"The snake is in the grass.

The snake is in the grass.

sssss sssss

The snake is in the grass!"

Have a super day!
