Week 22 - Valentine’s Day and Our Class Play
/The Sea Lions had a busy and exciting week! We enjoyed a Valentine’s party with the Otters on Monday and loved exchanging cards with our classmates. On Wednesday, we celebrated the very first birthday of one of our Sea Lions. Maple got to bring in special items from home to show and share with the class, and we took turns writing compliments about her on the whiteboard. We also surprised her with a special birthday card everyone had written in.
We finished all the costumes, props, and background scenery for our play, and we continued rehearsing throughout the week. We also finished our ticket designs and Murphy created a digital poster to advertise our play. Thursday was the big day, and we put on four separate performances of “The Three Bears and Goldilocks” for each of the other ELC classes. The Sea Lions did a fantastic job! They were so proud to share their hard work with the audiences. In between performances, we even put on a silly version of the play with Henry playing “Goldiboy” and others taking on different roles. We had so much fun together and really enjoyed performing on a real stage in the auditorium.
We received our first batch of letters from our pen pals in Missouri too! The Sea Lions were excited to read their letters and learn a little bit about the students they’ve been paired with. We already found that we have some things in common with these other students, and we’re looking forward to writing our reply letters this week.
We’ve also been continuing to practice with fractions for our math work, reading chapters in our separate book club novels, solving logic puzzles and Sudoku puzzles, and learning the last lowercase letters in our cursive alphabet. We have been enjoying new games and materials to play with during Outside Choice time, and Ms. Ren has been teaching and leading us in some fun movement games too.
