Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

What a wonderful Wednesday! We added another letter today, "A", and used our centers to practice writing and sounding it out. We used our letter "C" we learned on Monday to blend the sounds together as well. To review all of our letters we read "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" and played a letter naming game afterward.

During our theme time, we watched a video that described the Australian flag and what it symbolized. After, we made a venn diagram to compare the Australian flag to the American flag. We learned so many similarities about the flags like the colors and the symbolism of the stars but they are also very different. Click on our venn diagram below to learn more!

Lastly, I've included a picture of our behavior system in the classroom. These are the smiley faces that go home on their behavior sheets in their daily folder. I have added warning levels to our chart to help remind us when we have received a verbal warning and are on our way to a not so happy face. I hope this helps you to understand more where their smiley faces are coming from and that the children are fully aware of where they are throughout the day. Thanks for your cooperation with checking and signing their behavior charts each night, your support means the world to me!
