What's In A Name

This week we are learning All About Me. No not me, but all about Ourselves. We started out the week by reading I Like Me by Nancy Carlson

After reading the story everyone got a chance to come up and find the letter their name begins with and place it in our graph while we sang If Your Name Begins With____ Please Stand Up.  We counted how many of each letter and then we placed them in order form the greates to the least. 

We talked about how our names are special to us even if someone else has the same name. I told everyone we would be learning how to read and write or names this year and to start we were going to make mosaics if our names by placing colorful squares over each letter. We worked on starting on the first letter and working from left I right. Everyone did an awesome job finishing their work and making their names. 

Just realized I have 2 of the same picture in that there collage!



Today was also the day we started doing our afternoon jobs. It's a little hectic the first few weeks, but once everyone gets the hang of doing different work at the same time we will be on a roll!

All in all week 2 has started off great and we have nowhere to go, but up from here!!
