Another Fantastic Guest, Games and Good Times

Fun with Strega Nona continued this week with a little help from my good friend, Julie Graham.  Julie and I worked together at Chamberlin School and I feel incredibly lucky to have her visit every now and again to lend her expertise.  On Tuesday she worked with a group of students on a Reader's Theater version of Strega Nona.  Below you can see the actor/reader blowing the magical three kisses.  

While Mrs. Graham rehearsed with her group, others made some character puppets and a set piece to dramatize the story at the puppet theater.  

In Math this week a new game challenged the children to be aware of the operation sign (+ or -) as they tried to be the first squirrel to collect all the "nuts".  

Lastly, I wanted you to see a great example of this group's inclusive spirit.  In the blocks, with legos, even with books this class loves to team up and work together.
