A Day of Immense Possibilities

Today we used our Word of the Week, IMMENSE, in our Morning Message. It was a day of immense possibilities that became wonderful realities very early on! The day began with our Daily Language Review which helps us with grammar and writing mechanics. The class did very well and enjoyed correcting their own papers as well as graphing their results. We listened to our first Open Court Story, Ant and the Three Little Figs. Our FIRST-PERSON narrarator is the older brother to Ant. He creates an imaginative version of the Three Little Pigs for his brother. The 2D Rocks are creating their own books for our Pre-K buddies using photographs they took this afternoon. We are making a book of opposites, a book of colors, one of shapes and a book of numbers. We also enjoyed math games, Dicey Choice and Seven to Win. The 2D Rocks will choose one of these games for homework tonight.


Some notes for 2D Families:
  • We will be playing many games with playing/number cards this year. Please make sure your child has a set for home. We will continue to send home a set of cards with those who may not have a set available.
  • For those families with extra cards, we would appreciate sets for use in the classroom.
  • Please let me know if you need a die/dice for home as well. We have very few spare sets.
  • Finally, I will send home addition flashcards tomorrow with the students that do not have them currently.
