Day 10!

Today was picture day and all kindergartners did a wonderful job smiling for their picture!  Writer's Workshop got cut short as it was time to take our pictures but we did watch a short video from author Grace Lin who wrote The Ugly Vegetables.  Grace Lin gave us two tips as authors to read lots of books to figure out what types of books we like and to draw or write our own stories about things we know a lot about.  We are building our identity as storytellers before we begin writing our own books!

 
After picture day Mrs. Guilmette visited us for Guidance and read Tacky the Penguin and talked to us about how we are all unique and special.  After Guidance we had time to play and due to the rain we went out to recess after lunch.  We also re-read the book Noisy Nora by Rosemary Wells and shared our favorite parts.  We got in a quick recess and then ended the day with art with Mrs. Hawkes. Tomorrow we will visit the woods with Mrs. Slack's class!  The sun is supposed to be shining but please send shoes that are good for a walk in the woods.
