Today was a VERY eventful day in Kindergarten and at CP Smith School. For our monthly whole school positive behavior celebration the teachers tricked the students into thinking we were having a boring assembly and then broke out into dance to the song "We Are Family" it was a fun time had by all. We didn't go to the woods today due to all of the mud and water but we did have some fun constructing a marble maze. We talked about how engineers are people who make plans, build buildings and then fix them if they observe problems. Kindergarteners enjoyed working together to build various marble maze constructions. First we worked together and followed the plan, or directions, then after some time exploring Kindergarten talked about changes they could make and made them. It was not only fun but a great lesson in teamwork and engineering!
After Reader's Workshop where we focused on locating sight words and rhyming words in a shared poem, we visited the library to meet Ms. Lessard's, the district's literacy coach, therapy dog Zero! Kindergarten was very interested in learning about the different tests Zero had to go through to become a certified therapy dog and then had a chance to pet him. It was a wonderful day!
