Wonderful Wednesday!

Some of of us were a little tired staying up past our bedtimes from yesterday's grade 3-6 Christmas Concert, but we managed!  We started our day with a sharing circle to talk about what we enjoyed most about the concert yesterday.  The students practiced the formation, sound and brainstormed words that had the blend sound zz.  The SK's also practice their printing skills in their booklets.  The students worked in groups with Math centers and ended their day with a cutting and pasting sequencing activity.
