Our first big 'job' today was to have a discussion about restaurants, including healthy and unhealthy foods that we can order. Then we talked about what happens at a restaurant, proper behavior, and the different jobs involved in running a restaurant. Finally, the real fun came when we role played a restaurant in action! It was great!! Everyone really enjoyed themselves. We even had to call the police when one of the chefs decided to run away with the cash register!
Building schema.
Preparing food in the kitchen!
This restaurant not only offered a variety of food but also provided money, a cell phone, and a cat!
After recess, our guest read the story Something Good by Robert Munsch. The class had a good discussion about feelings and healthy ways to react when we are feeling scared or angry.
Then, we had a quick review of the number six before heading off to gym class.
After lunch, we were treated to a tour of the new daycare that is attached to the school. The Kindergarteners did not want to leave! Luckily, they let us stick around to play with their brand new toys for a little while.
When we returned to class, we began our author study on Eric Carle. We read A Home For Hermit Crab. Afterwards, we discussed some of the interesting parts of the story. Then students worked on text-to-self connections by thinking about a time when they outgrew something in their life. Their connections ranged from clothes to homes to toys.
Our final activity was to predict what the hermit crab's new home would look like after he decorated it.
We ended the day with some singing and dancing, followed by our talking circle.
What a joy it is to spend the day amongst creative minds and sweet hearts!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :)
