The Crocodile's Christmas Jandals

We have been enjoying the big book 'The Crocodile's Christmas Jandals' this week.  Every child has taken a copy home today to share with you.  It may not be at their instructional level, however we have read it three times so they are all familiar with it.  I have added a link to the audio version for your child to read along to if they wish.

Keep Trying

In Room 26 we persist in our learning to achieve our goals.  To do this we keep trying and then we can do it. We read the book 'Keep Trying' to help us learn to not give up when things are difficult.

We made some bunting with important 'Keep Trying' messages on it.

 

 Max said he had to keep trying while he was learning to fold up the milk cartons.
Angel said she has to keep trying when she is learning her words.

Reward Day in Room 26

We reached our goal of 50 class compliments.  Woohoo! Icecream and a play on the big kids playground.

Welcome to 2016! 

Here is our class treaty.  We brainstormed important rules to help our classroom to be a safe and happy place and then we signed our names on painted hand prints.
 

We have been learning about the Golden Rule 'Treat others the way you like to be treated'.  The children have written about this.  Following are a few examples of their ideas.
