We had a wonderful day!
We started our day with a writing task. The students reviewed their informational writing organizers ("All About Me") and then transferred their writing to their final draft paper.
Ms. Wolfe came in for our fourth personal safety lesson: The Touching Rule. The touching rule is that a bigger person should never touch your private body parts except to keep you healthy. We used the example of a mom/dad changing their baby's diaper. The students also learned what they should do if someone does break the "Touching Rule." The student should refuse ("Stop! Don't touch me!") and report ("Mom, my friend broke the touching rule!") to a trusted adult (e.g. parents, teacher, grandparent, etc.). Refusing and reporting when someone has broken the Touching Rule can help make sure the touching stops. Children learned that it is NEVER their fault if someone breaks the Touching Rule.
After recess, we worked on math number bonds. The students are doing such a great job and really grasping the concept. After math, we did our calendar and Daily News routine, followed by reading groups.

6. A letter (on green paper) was sent home today. We will be making Leprechaun Traps. I'm asking that you help your child return their traps by 3/15. Please know that an empty cereal box will work, as will a fancy, gold trap (there is ABSOLUTELY no pressure with this)!
