Monday News

We had a great day back!
Our day started with a math fluency activity (making 8 using various objects). We then welcomed Mrs. Pittz into our classroom for another social skills lesson. The lesson focused on how feelings can be expressed with facial expressions, but also voice, and body posture. Once the lesson was over, we did our calendar and Daily News routine, as well as our introduction to the letter Bb. We guessed different pictures that started with the /b/ sound and read a story called "Bubble Bear". Recess was once again outside, which felt great...even though it was a bit chilly. :) We transitioned to a quick math review after recess, where the kiddos again identified/wrote what the two parts were, as well as the whole (e.g. 2 + 6 = 8). Lastly, we started our first independent informational writing task today. 
The students listened to different facts about foxes, looked at pictures, and also got to see a short clip about how foxes use their incredible hearing to catch their prey. I've included the video link below, as it is quite amazing to see.
