We continued on with our story form/comprehension activities during our literacy group. We finished Goldi Rocks and the Three Bears by writing a summary of the story and learning two new vocabulary words: slumber (to sleep) and shock (a surprising experience). We also introduced two new story elements: the wish in the story, and the problem. The kids are becoming more secure in the concepts of characters and setting. As you are reading with your kids see if they can identify the characters (people and animals who act out the story) and the setting (time and place).
This week was gray...gray...gray and muddy...muddy...muddy! I am ready to look out the window and see either some sun or some snow so we can enjoy the winter weather a little more.

Other highlights of the week (pictured below) included participating in extra specials during lunch recess (Legos and crafts), new token boards with favorite characters, sharing projects with general education classes, becoming more independent in our after lunch math rotations, earning five star days, learning new dances on GoNoodle, and the discovery of how much fun it is to do our work on the floor!! Whatever it takes!! Upcoming this week: we start a new book for literacy group- Goldilocks and the Three Martians and have our first class with the 4th Wall Theater Company. Can't wait!!

Thanks so much Heather, looks like your wish came true with all of this snow! Ella loved shoveling this morning. Hope you all have a chance to play and maybe even go sledding before it melts!
