It's a great day for a football game.  Hope the Patriots can get a win today.

We are reading an assortment of books in class.  Each one is delivering a powerful message, either about being kind, being different, and even about accepting others for who they are.  I try to do an activity with each one and sometimes we do a writing piece that goes along with it.

The children love taking part in the various activities. The M&Ms were a hit. Depending on the color they chose, they had to answer the question related to the color of the M&M.  

 For example if they had red they had to share their favorite food, if it was blue, they had to talk about their pets. 

Question of the day:

Each morning I put up a question for the children to answer once they come in and get settled.  I love watching the children go up to the easel and excitedly write their answer.  Great conversations are taking place during circling up.  We share what our answers are.  Many love to share, others, are still not too comfortable but that's ok. 

Overall, we had a great week.  The children are getting along, working together in groups and reading novels.  We are also working on Personal Narratives in Writing Workshop.
