You may have already heard the exciting news, last week the whole class worked together to earn over 300 Class Dojo points! This means they earn a reward for this week. We used this as an opportunity to collect data on what kinds of rewards the students would like to have and then they surveyed one another and created a graph! This was a very similar task to the "favorite color" task many students worked on last week. It is great to re-visit familiar tasks to see the improvement within student work, and an increase in their independence. As you can see from the results, this Friday, October 25 will be a PJ DAY!! :) Some students have already shared they do not want to wear their pajamas to school, of course it is optional!
This week, we are learning about the final quadrant of the Circle of Courage, Independence. We talked about how independence and generosity must work together to be a whole being. We also did some writing by finishing these sentences:
I can be responsible...
I can solve problems...
I can show control...
Please remember, our assembly about the circle of courage is happening next week on October 30th at 1:10PM! :) All family members are welcome to attend!
We are continuing to revise and improve our artwork supported by our big buddies! Last Friday, they visited our classroom to give us feedback on our realistic leaf artwork. Today, we helped them with their antler art. They even taught us about some different sketching techniques they are learning.
Here is an example of the various drafts from a student in our class, the peer feedback is on the yellow sticky notes and the buddy feedback is on the blue sticky notes.

Our letter blend of the week is SH! We are playing word detective with all SH words, hopefully you can identify some at home! :)
Take care,
