This week we read different versions of The Three Little Pigs. The stories are perfect for working on sequencing, retelling, comparing/contrasting, point-of-view, and character analysis.
In this writing activity, the children sequenced pictures from the story and then worked on writing a written retelling of the story.
Later we read The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs and discussed the different point-of-views of the characters. I was surprised most of the students sided with the wolf's story! :)
Heritage Night is my favorite school event! It was nice to see a lot of you there. I didn't take many pictures because I was enjoying the night so if you want to see more check out the PTA's Facebook page.
We have started our geometry unit in math. The paper that went home is an overview of what the children will be learning. At first we focused on shape identification and shapes within the environment. In this activity I read a book to the children and then they turned a shape into a real life object.
On Friday, the children practiced making shapes using geoboards. They really enjoyed this activity! While making the shapes the children counted the sides and vertices (if it had them) and recorded the shapes they made.
The Kindness tree has grown a lot! We have also started creating and practicing our CrestFest presentation.
