Thursday 10/4

7 minutes of independent reading time!  Kids now have 3 new books to read in their just-right bag.  

The children added more pages to their first written story.  Many children decided to share their pieces with the class-They love using the microphone!

Some pictures from Math Centers today:

New game- combination toss.  Ask your child how to play.

Open Circle
Each child made a picture on their iPad of another nonverbal signal.  They will be put together into a class book.  Ask your child to show you a nonverbal signal for- me too & stop.

In Open Circle recently, we talked about nonverbal signals. A nonverbal signal is a way of communicating without using words. We tried out many nonverbal signals that we already know, such as the signals for okay, no, great job, and let’s be quiet. We talked about why it might be helpful to have some nonverbal signals in the classroom that everyone agrees to and is clear about instead of using words. The class chose several nonverbal signals that we agreed to use this year in the classroom. Ask your child to demonstrate these signals. Ask your child to demonstrate some other nonverbal signals and have you guess what they mean. You and your child might want to develop your own nonverbal signals to use at home.
