The Magic Trains:
We had a fantastic (but short) day today. Before our early dismissal, we worked with Ms. Jen in speech, and Ms. Melinda in yoga and were able to enjoy the beautiful weather outside.

The Diener Dinosaurs:
What a wonderful Wednesday! Today the Diener Dinosaurs...
1.) Did language arts circuits with Ms. Kim. We played sight word memory, word and spelling games.
2.) Built shapes with our bodies in math and then worked on writing and identifying numbers.
3.) Had yoga with Ms. Melinda and practiced our sun salutations, learned three new poses, and did our breathing exercises.

The Mighty Dieners:
1.) In Math, we worked on one more and one less in our Calvert Math books.
2.) In Social Skills, we interviewed a friend in our class and shared what we learned—everyone’s full names, birthdays, if we had brothers and/or sisters, our favorite food and if we had a pet!
3.) In Yoga, we played the freeze game and then had to do a yoga pose! Today we did the boat pose and flower pose!

The Golden Owls:
Today we had a wonderful day in the Golden Owls.
1.) During language arts, we continued working on our reading strategies of rereading, thinking aloud, predicting, connecting, and the five w's. We also continued to work on listening closely to one another as a friend reads with expression.
2.) In social skills with Ms. Melissa we interviewed one another and practiced following directions. We also played nutrition bingo continuing to explore our theme of the month.
3.) During dance class with Mr. Aaron we worked on our gross motor skills and rhythm while learning new moves!
