It’s been another busy week in 3B! We had a great week with all of you, so thank you so much for all your focus and laughs and wonderful participation.
Last week we spent a few days thinking about characters and stories to write about them. This week we decorated the covers and set you free to work on the rest of your books as you choose to. We are very excited to see what stories you come up with for all those creative characters you chose. Maybe on Monday we can do some sharing of our stories? We are looking very forward to hearing about, and seeing, all the adventures you come up with. Keep us posted, please!
You all should be so proud of yourselves for the way you recognized so many numerals and counted so many dots during our Mathematical Simon Says game. You all recognized every numeral we showed you, and then you did such great jobs at coming up with fun things for us to do when you were Simon. We jumped and clapped and kicked and pretended to drink water, and we had a blast playing this game with you!
Lastly, how much fun was Field Day? What a great way to end the week! You all jumped and moved and danced and more, and it was a very good time. We are so glad that all of you had so much fun, too.
During the afternoons this week we enjoyed making various art projects with you. It was fun to collage our homes, because each of us approached the project with our own vision and created our homes just the way we wanted to. It was perfect, because our visions for this project were as unique as each of us in 3B are.
Kite making was very fun, too! It was great to see so many of you join us for this activity. Each of you made such excellent kites. We wonder, have any of you flown your kites, yet? How did they fly? How fast did you run to get them to fly? We’d love to see some pictures if you have them.
Have a great weekend everybody. Thanks for a great week!
