Today, after Center Time, we had a special guest. Christine, Adele's mom, came in to present a music lesson that is a part of the BRAVO! program. In this program, the kids will be exposed to classical music, composers, and gain an appreciation and understanding of the elements of music. It was really fun - ask your child all about it.

After our music lesson, the kids each made a self-portrait for our classroom wall, and then had Writer's Workshop, in which the kids learned a bit about the revision process. We spent time reviewing all of the writing that they have done thus far, and thought about ways to revise and expand the writing that they have already done.

After Writer's workshop, we did a math assessment/activity using 100s charts and even counting by 2s. We finished up with Choice Time, and then bundled everyone up to go home.

Have a great weekend - stay warm!!
