Third Week Highlights

We have been studying about our community helpers. First, we began our project based learning unit with an engaging entry event where we used our classroom puppets to act out going to work, earning money, and using our money to buy something that we need. Then, we had an opportunity to meet some of our community helpers and learn about their jobs. Check out our pictures of our special guests below! Our students also created a Keynote presentation which shows them dressed up as the community helper that they hope to be in the future.

We have also been working hard this week on our numbers 1-5. We have learned a fun song for each number and have been singing away as we learn to recognize, write, and count using these numbers. We even made our numbers out of playdough. Check out our pictures below!
