PreK has started learning the letters of the alphabet. This week they read a story called The Big Box an ABC Book. In the story, some kids get a big box and go through a bunch of different ideas of what they could make with the box. One idea for each letter of the alphabet! Today PreK found a big box and came up with their own ideas. They voted and decided to make a cave! Questions to ask: What other things could you make from a box? What letter does cave start with?

Today in 3rd grade, they worked with partners to “act out” their vocabulary words! Each team was assigned a word and then worked together to come up with actions and words for their word. They wrote what they thought the word was on their white boards. This was a fun way to add some context and real life situations to their vocabulary words. See if your students can define the words: Practicing, tumbled, classmate, pronounce, scared, contribute, community, admires.
