Rainforest Animals

This week we were busy every day reading and learning about the animals of the rainforest. We created monkeys, piranhas, anteaters, red-eyed tree frogs and Blue Morpho butterflies. We loved seeing videos of these rainforest animals on our big screen and reading about what they eat and how they live. We even learned that there are beautiful pink river dolphins in the rainforest!


We have been so busy writing in our journals this month that we may have to begin our April journals early! We are stretching our brains with our writing and drawing!

In our social skills lessons we have focused on ignoring. When a student is upset, we ask that other students not look at or talk with that student. We assure them that we are watching and handling the problem, and students are also able to see that a consequence is given when needed. 

Report cards were sent home on Wednesday and are yours to keep. WL switched to trimesters this year, so the last report card will come home with your child on the last day of school. 
We have had some special partner Center Times that have been very fun. We are working hard on sharing, turn taking and talking to our partners in a friendly way!
