Independent Reading

During our daily independent reading, students are encouraged to retell familiar stories. They are encouraged to use voice inflection, hand motions and are strongly encouraged to read with joy. This young lady is doing all of those things.

Star Student

As we begin Skills Block we are beginning with Star Students. Each day we choose one student and we study the name, learn how to write the name and use the name as inspiration for many skills based activities. We do one each day ensuring that every student has the chance to shine.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

We have been reading and retelling The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Today the students took turns acting out the story. The picture is of the middle goat crossing the bridge and the troll jumping up and threatening to "gobble her up". We had a great time learning and laughing together today.

The First Week of School

We had a WILD first week of school. We were given the opportunity to see a wide variety of animals during the Sensory Safari. We learned many new facts about the animals and were allowed to touch them. It was an amazing experience.
