This week we will began
our new Author Study unit focusing Don and Audrey Wood. We will learn
that Don and Audrey both write and illustrate children’s books. Some of their
most recognizable children’s books include “The Big Hungry Bear and the Red
Ripe Strawberry”, “Piggies”, “The Napping House”, “Silly Sally” and “Alphabet Adventure”. We will be learning about and discussing the
role of an author and an illustrator.
If
your child has a favorite Don or Audrey Wood book at home that they would like
to share with their classmates please feel free to send them in (please label
your child’s book)!

This week Miss Jen (our School Psychologist) did another great lesson on Feelings. She read 4 short stories about feelings (from the Inside Out movie collection) and then we sorted a variety of feeling cards into the 4 Zones of Regulation!

| ~We graphed November's weather~ During circle we took a look back at November's Weather! We worked on counting (How many Cloudy days? Sunny? Rainy?) and comparing (Which weather did we have the Most/Least). The students took turns predicting what type of weather they thought we had the most of! |
The results...November had more Sunny (10) days then Cloudy (9) days!
We also had 1 Rainy day and 5 Home days!
