Here’s a sneak peek at what we were up to last week in the Butterflies class!

Thank you @MrsJPJohnson for reading such a fabulous story today! We read “It’s Okay to Make Mistakes”, and we made some amazing connections!

These friends are always so eager to take pictures of their creations that they build. It’s amazing to see such creativity! Here, we have a ship, a plane, a bird, and a house! @MsMcNiece @MrsJPJohnson

I also found this fantastic board game at a garage sale last weekend. It was too cute to pass up. The kids had a great time collaborating and teaching others how to play the game! @MsMcNiece @MrsJPJohnson

This week, we backtracked a bit and focused on letter recognition because I found this neat alphabet set at a garage sale last weekend! The kids were so creative with the letter set, and they began using the letters to write their names! @MsMcNiece @MrsJPJohnson

We have been building some pretty neat towers in the Hummingbirds class! @MsMcNiece

Some friends shared their learning with the class during our consolidation! We had a great time asking questions about our friends’ creations in order to deepen our learning. @MsMcNiece @MsYhapRECE
