We had a chance to begin planning the details of our small group weather presentations this week, and to finally see some changes in the weather. The humidity is rising, rain is falling, and the wind is picking up.
We finished reading Flat Stanley, and worked on a summary of the book. In our reading journal we have a card with "first, then, and last." Students can choose to write a three sentence summary or to draw pictures. In our listening center we heard the story of "The Little Red Hen."
Math Matters:
A group worked with odds and evens this week. B group worked with doubling numbers from 1 to 10.

We learned about different kinds of smart...Multiple Intelligences. Each student spent time answering questions to see which of the intelligences are more developed. Many of the students came out strong in all of the intelligences, indicating strong curiosity and a joy for life. The chart below doesn't include natural intelligence, but our survey did.
The morning we met to complete the surveys, we packed up our books and journals and grabbed our yoga mats and had literacy outside.
There was much more as usual. Until next week...
