I'm sure you've all heard all about our Fire Safety Assembly by now. The kiddos couldn't contain their excitement when I told them they would be able to meet real firefighters! They even got to "high-five" firefighter Mike!
Then I changed the sentence by replacing Tommy with one of the children's names and asked a volunteer to erase the word that needed to be changed. We then wrote the new sentence and read it chorally as a class, pointing to the words as we read them.
We also clapped the number of syllables in given words!
In Math, the children learned all about triangles. They also colored number boards to show the numbers 0-10. For each number, we counted out the appropriate number of boxes to be colored. When I asked the children what they noticed about the board, we discovered that every number is one larger than the number before it. They also told me it looked like a "staircase" and a "triangle".

I'm looking forward to another great week ahead! Best of luck to Jonathan at his new school in Virginia! We will miss you so much!!
Warm Regards,
