Happy, rainy Monday!

While it may have been raining outside it was sunny in Rainbow Valley!
The kids were very engaged today.  We began our day with journal writing about our weekend.  If a child could not remember what he or she did over the weekend they were allowed to write about whatever they would like too.
We are encouraging 3 star coloring and if your child knows some letter sounds to apply them in their writing. 

Today we read David Goes To School. We discussed the job of the author and the illustrator.
We talked about how David was a "Peacebreaker."  
This story connects very well with our citizenship unit.  The children learned that they are "Peacemakers" at home and at school.  One of our friends said, " When I go to bed when Mommy and Daddy tell me to I am a peacemaker."  "When I yell and stomp up the stairs I am a peacebreaker."
I loved these connections!

We have started our small groups.  The children are working with the teachers, independently, and with peers.  Please ask your child what he or she did today during small group time.
