We went to gym. Coach talked to us about our hearts and timed us to see how quickly we can name the muscles and bones in the human body. Coach Hudson uses a stopwatch. He calls on someone to give it a try. Eesha had the world record for girls. Today Sasha beat the record of 9 seconds. Sasha was able to name the bones and muscles in 7 seconds! Hunter has the world record for boys. He was able to name the bones and muscles in 6.5 seconds. We need to name: flanges, abdominals, pelvis, gluteus maximus, quadriceps, hamstrings, femur, gastroc nemius, patella, biceps, triceps, and heart.During math, we played Bears on the Bus. First, children acted out getting on the bus in two groups. We recorded the combinations and used a plus and equals sign to show how many. Then we practiced with bears and a partner.
Everyone came together to share and arrange the number combinations. We even counted how many we found!In the first week of our Over and Above All Stars, 38 questions were answered by 7 children! Congratulations Hunter, Sarah, Lauria, Eesha, Arlo, Dylan, and Dylan A. for giving it a try!
In just 4 days, we have already left 46 heartprints! Lots of children are recognizing when they or others do kind things. Please remember to send in examples of heartprints left at home so that we can continue to work towards our goal of 100 heartprints by the 100th day of school (now taking place AFTER vacation!).
Tonight is movie night at Cottage Lane. The PTA will be showing Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
PS-Sorry for the shortage of and abbreviated updates lately! All first grade teachers have been on “door duty” during dismissal time to make sure that the children are not walking too fast or slow, with nothing in their hands, and zipped up coats. It is during this time that we typically work on the blog.
