"Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures." John F. Kennedy

If you give a Mouse a Cookie and other books!

We read many Laura Numeroff books this week, including "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie", "...a Moose a Muffin", "...a Pig a Pancake" and "...a Cat a Cookie". These books are a great way to understand cause and effect. 


We introduced the Coping Skill, "move away". It is important for students to understand that they shouldn't tease, touch, get close to someone who is already upset...they should move away from the situation. 
                                
We had a fantastic practice fire drill on Tuesday morning - everyone did a great job! 
We noticed that our monarch chrysalis had turned dark, almost black...and then on Monday we saw that a beautiful monarch butterfly was flying in the butterfly habitat. We were able to observe it and let it go out the window!
                            
When we went to the Media Center, we were able to use the computers there!
We sat with partners to share book boxes for partner reading!
