All About Me Guidance Lessons Began Today!

A great way to get to know more about each and everyone in our class.

In computer lab, the students made Text to Self Connections with our poem The Leaves on the Tree by creating a picture using the Art Pad on Little Bird Tales Below is a student example of her connection to the poem.

Next the students and I read the book We're Going On a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger.  Then we went on an actual leaf hunt and found many colorful leaves just like the children did in the story.

 

 Our day ended as it began with a story, but this time we got to share it with our 4K and Multiage Reading Buddies!
