Some of us found different chunks of ice that looked like different shapes. - found a chunk that looked like a duck! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the morning we are starting to do Math Menu. We get to choose a station that will help us practice various skills. Some of the skills include writing numbers, graphing different amounts, and combining numbers within five. Math Menu has also allowed us to play games that help us practice certain social skills as well, such as partner work which includes turn taking.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We were lucky enough to have VINS come and do a lesson for us in our classroom. We learned about animals in winter and how they behave.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We continue to earn "alphabits" when we are doing expected behaviors (such as following directions, listening, doing kind things for friends, etc.) Each time we earn 100 we get to have a celebration. This month we enjoyed bringing stuffed animals to celebrate!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before we left for Thanksgiving vacation we finished our Giving Project. Earlier in the month we made turkey collection bags and placed them at Jake's Quechee Market. We were learning about the idea of giving and how good it can feel to help others. We were amazed to see how kind and thoughtful community members were as we sorted and organized all of the donations so that we could give them to the Upper Valley Haven. Thank you to Jake's Quechee Market for allowing us to collect in your store and thank you to our wonderful community for donating so much!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">During play time we had a lot of good exploring going on. Some of us worked on moving round objects uphill using various strategies, such as using a stick as a lever. Others dug around an old, dead tree. We noticed that the bottom of the tree was getting a little thinned so we will not be digging at that part anymore. We don't want it to fall like a Jenga tower! Some of us were playing pretend at split rock, creating a car in the slippery snow. With the little snow that we have, others were making small cakes and snowmen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sometimes our bodies need to move and wiggle. We take brain breaks during certain parts of our day. With GoNoodle we earn points after each video that we do. Our "Champion" grows stronger each time we participate. The goal is for the brain breaks to help us get our sillies out so that we can focus during learning time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This morning we wrote a page for our forest journals. We drew our pictures with many details and made sure to match our illustration to our sentence. To write our sentence we said the words slowly, stretching them out to hear the sounds so that we could write letters.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We had four offerings today. In Mr. Sadowski's station we helped to make snack. In Mrs. Bergeron's station we cleaned up our forest floor with rakes and collected the leaves into large pumpkin bags. In Ms. E and Mrs. Luca's station we made leaf ghosts. In Miss Wetzel's station we read <u>The Three Billy Goat's Gruff</u> and then acted it out. We needed to create the scene/setting from the book and then choose who wanted to be which characters.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We added something new into our schedule today! Four playtime offerings were available for us to choose between. We could visit two of the offerings. In one offering Mrs. Bergeron's brother was visiting and showed us some neat stones and rocks that he is studying in college. In another offering we could help Mr. Sadowski make the Stone Soup. The third offering was led by Mrs. Luca and we collected colorful leaves to make a leafy, fall crown. In the fourth offering with Miss Wetzel we collected leaves to do leaf rubbings. We used white crayons for the rubbings and then watercolor painted the paper to see the parts of the leaves.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">During our literacy time we have been taking a closer look at letters. Earlier in the month we focused on recognizing uppercase letters. Just recently we began our station work with various adults who are part of the kindergarten team. Mrs. Porter, Ms. E, Mrs. Beland, and Mrs. Luca will all be helping with our letter stations. So far we have focused on the uppercase letters D, E, F, and P.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We have been doing several projects about creating community in the classroom. We made hopes and dreams for our school year and put them onto hot air balloons so that they can soar off. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To help us think about how to work together as friends in the classroom we read <u>The Rainbow Fish</u> by Marcus Pfister and talked about how we can all share and be kind to others. We made colorful fish to hang outside of our classroom.</span></div>

Students have had the opportunity to go to stations during this time and practice using various math tools carefully. Some tools have included unifix cubes, pattern blocks, and polydrons.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We have the chance to earn a "High Paw" anytime at school. When we do something especially wonderful in the classroom, whether it be a kind or helpful action, we can be recognized with the "High Paw". When we receive one we get to do a special handshake with Mrs. Newton. At the start of the year our whole class got one for having a stellar first P.E. class!</span></div>

We went out to collect our snack in the garden only to find that it had already been taken! The stalks of corn were trampled and many of the cobs were taken overnight. Mr. Sadowski wondered if something very large had taken them. Maybe even a bear! Regardless, we were able to gather some corn from the garden for snack.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We stopped by the school garden on our way up to the forest. We picked some goods that we planned to cook for snack. All of the vegetables were pulled from underground including purple potatoes, gold beets, and orange carrots.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of us remembered where our sit spots were without any help! We stayed very quiet and then shared what we observed with our five senses. Some of us saw trees, touched logs, and heard birds.</div>

In the forest we practice many important skills. One skill that is practiced so much is teamwork. You can see it here with two friends working together to move a large piece of wood.</div>

Some of us helped to prepare snack by cutting and up the vegetables to be cooked over the fire. They were so yummy that many had seconds and even thirds!</div>

We made lots of discoveries while outside today. We found mushrooms, little critters like slugs, colorful leaves, and so many acorns!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The end of our forest day included some lunch outside. We spread out in the sunshine and enjoyed the fresh air while we chatted. It was a great day!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We made a lot of discoveries throughout the day. On our walk up we found slugs and a centipede.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some others made a "Woodsy Band" and jammed together with sticks on a fallen tree. They had many successful performances.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ms. Keel comes in each Thursday to give us a guidance lesson. We discuss the importance of speaking up when others are being unkind and how to stay safe at school and other places. Sometimes we work on teamwork like in this photo. We were trying to pass the hula hoop around the circle without dropping our hands. It was tricky!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One afternoon we read <u>Thunder Cake</u> by Patricia Polacco. It was about a grandmother who helps her granddaughter overcome her fear of storms by collecting ingredients to make a delicious cake which is best to make in a thunder storm! We had earned 100 "alphabits" so we had a crazy idea... what if we made Thunder Cake in our classroom?? We loved making it and then eating it and didn't even mind the secret ingredient which was tomatoes!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During our time in the forest we have seen a lot of changes!
