Clouds
We are studying clouds in science. More specifically, we are studying these four: cirrus, stratus, cumulus, cumulonimbus. We were a bit chatty at the carpet this afternoon and lost some good research time :( . I told them I'd post the link if they'd like to do some research at home and can share their knowledge tomorrow.
Manner Challenge!
Here's our 2 manners for today for our manners challenge. We discussed waiting patiently if two adults are talking and it's not an emergency; and if it is an emergency, use the phrase "excuse me."
The Writing Process!
Today we discussed all the steps of the writing process and for the remainder of the year students will go through the whole process for each piece of writing. BIG NEWS, we are now writing paragraphs! You will start seeing their final copies coming home.

VIP: Truman
Aaron was our VIP. Truman stepped in and helped "Dr. Chemo Duck." We miss you buddy! Keep being brave!
Manner's Challenge!
We'll be discussing 25 manners over the next few weeks. We'll role play and discuss these. I encourage you to ask your kinder about the manner(s) of the day to implement at home also!

Main Idea!
This week we are focusing on the main idea in reading: what the story is mostly about in one-two sentences.
I Wanna New Room by: Karen Kaufman Orloff
Main Idea: Alex wants a new room to have space from his little brother. His dad built him his own tree house, but in the end he decided he'd like his brother to join.
Fish is Fish by: Leo Lionni
Main Idea: The fish and the frog realize that they are different and have to live in different habitats, but they can still be friends.
Nugget and Fang by: Tammi Sauer/Michael Slack
Main Idea: This story was about a shark, Fang, and a minnow, Nugget, and their friendship. When Nugget went to school, his minnow friends tried to teach him that sharks are not friends and they are too scary. Fang ends up saving the school of minnows and they realized not all sharks are bad.
*This is one of Ms. Gegg's most favorite stories! We had such a good conversation on SO many things from this one book: text-to-text connections, text-to-movie connections, onomatopoeia words, friendship, dialogue/quotation marks, and feelings! What a fun reading lesson driven by a very engaged Kinder Crew!
