I hope everyone had a wonderful vacation!  On Friday this week we ate lunch together in the classroom as part of our celebration for getting 50 class tallies.  We earn tallies for a variety of things from working very quietly to cleaning up quickly and efficiently.  We also get a tally any time the class receives a compliment from another adult in the building and recently we have been earning them for being especially kind and inclusive.

We are wrapping up our informational writing about our nature name animals.  Yesterday we made collage covers for these.  Using pictures of their nature names children looked for shapes that they could cut out and put together to create a picture.  Next week we will begin a project to go with these.
