On Monday some NHS students came and did lessons with the kinder kids. It was awesome. The lessons were about 45 minutes long, and so full of fun and learning.
The kids learned a new high frequency word--are, and we read a quick story about a tree (we will continue this in January).
Later we were ambitious and did another page in our mindful journal. The cutting was really tricky, so thankfully, we had many adults to help. We were listening for kindness.
In the afternoon, some fourth graders presented a play that they had written. It was very sweet and we enjoyed their performance.
Tuesday was full of Christmas singing with the whole school (The 12 Days of Christmas was my favorite song--each class did actions for a verse-ours was 10 Lords a Leaping), art and a story from Mrs. Wells.
After lunch we met our Buddies. We have been paired with Mrs. Young's class (second graders) and will do activities with them about once a month. Today they worked together to make a snowman by following directions. It was so much fun watching the big kids help the little kids. All I had to do was take photos. (Let's do this again!!!)
Later we did our last page in the mindful journal (seeing kindness). We could have done more, but I think that is enough for now. We will practice more after the break.
