Happy Friday!

Happy Friday and First Day of September!  This morning we started our day outside at Recess and then came in for Morning Meeting.  We greeted our friends with a fist bump, shared an answer to: Why do we come to school? and then did our first song from GoNoodle - Rollercoaster.  GoNoodle’s movement videos and games help to keep us moving inside the classroom. It makes it easy to be active, the kid way – silly, energetic, playful, and fun! “Research shows even short bursts of movement deliver big benefits for brain health and academic performance, relative to sitting quietly.” -Dr. Laura Chaddock-Heyman, research scientist specializing in movement and the adolescent brain. You can also play GoNoodle at Home!  Go to www.gonoodle.com, click sign-up and pick parent or kid to create an account.

After that it was time for snack and a story, Stellaluna and some word work.  We worked with our names again today and created some beautiful name mosaics practicing using scissors and glue sticks correctly!
