Because our letter of the day was I (our first vowel), we learned a song about the two sounds that vowels make. We played I Spy, using our math vocabulary words over, under, and on. Students also learned signs for each of those words. We started a Science unit of the five senses. Aliza was our Star of the Day. She has a younger sister and an older sister and no pets. Because it's been so loud during center time, I started using a music box to quiet the students. I wind up the music box at the beginning of each day, open it to play music to signal students that they are too loud. As they get quiet I close the box. If there is any music left at the end of the day, the class earns a point towards a popcorn party. We have a new student starting tomorrow. Welcome, Christian!
