Emotions Unit

Hello!

Last week we started our emotions unit. This will be an eight week unit where we will be talking about a variety of emotions, and what causes us to feel those emotions. Last week we started with simply talking about five things that make us happy. This week, we are diving deeper into what are the things that make us sad. We will be doing lots of role playing and video modeling to show these different emotions over the next couple of weeks in our class. I will do my best to get pictures up by the end of the week!

Hope everyone has a great week and please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or comments - I love to hear from y'all!

Extracurricular activities!

Hello!!

This week we have been talking about extracurricular activities. I am amazed by just how many extracurricular activities these guys are involved in! We compiled a list of activities that we are involved in that are associated with Notre Dame School. Here is that list:

Then, we moved on and began compiling a list of extracurricular activities that we are involved in that are not associated with Notre Dame School. We struggled with this list and a lot of students said they were not involved in any activities outside of school. If we missed any activities that your student is involved in please let me know and we can add it to the list before we make our iPad movies. 

Our iPad movies are coming along beautifully - I can't wait for y'all to see them! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns - I love to hear from hall!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Heroes week!

Hello everyone! This week we have been talking all about heroes. We spent some time defining what a hero is, explaining who our heroes are, and even writing some letters to the heroes of 9/11! It has been an amazing journey watching your students explain who their heroes are and the reasons they look up to them! We made posters talking about our heroes; here are a few examples -

We are also making videos on our classroom iPad that will be compiled into one big video of each student at the end of the year! We have made a lot of progress on these so far and I can't wait to keep adding to them! Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or comments - I love to hear from y'all!! 

Have a great weekend!
