Brrr..... It was much too cold to play outside today, so student were able to choose their own activity for indoor recess. During lunch, both kindergarten classes met in my room for a Reading Rainbow movie about optical illusions. For writing, students came up with the title for a short story and drew pictures representing what they might want to write about for the beginning, middle and end of their story. They will add the words tomorrow. The students had a guest teacher for gym and it looked like they were playing a relay game with a rubber chicken. They were definitely having fun! We had a short lesson in social studies about how to solve problems with friends. They learned that instead of hitting or yelling they should stop, talk and listen, come up with a plan and then try the plan.
