We had a special guest from SASSM today. She brought her porcupine puppet and worked with the students on how to ask before touching someone else, and how to say no if somebody wants to get too close to or touch you. The porcupine puppet asked permission to sniff each child. Several children declined the chance to be "sniffed" by the porcupine, but many of them asked the puppet for permission to touch it. (The quills were very soft, I promise).
Then it was time to measure! Everyone picked a stuffed animal to measure with yardsticks, rulers and unifix cubes. We talked about having to line up the animal with the zero point on the ruler, because some things are smaller than one inch long.
We spent some time talking about why it is important to use lower case letters in our journals. When we write with all capitals it is like shouting, and we can't tell what is most important. The children are also working on using punctuation and spaces. Everyone is adding more detail to both their pictures and words.
Our bulletin board by the library is almost finished. We just need to think of a title for it now. Be sure to stop by during parent teacher conferences to see it. I sent home conference confirmation sheets with the students last week. If you are unsure of when our meeting is please email me at broper@svrsu.org or call 882-7585. I'll see you soon!
