The Diener Dinosaurs:
Today the Diener Dinosaurs...
1.) Worked on lots of fine motor activities and handwriting with Miss Brook! Then we worked on our Calvert workbooks in math.
2.) Played lots of fun games with Miss Julie in fitness. We practiced our animal walks and worked on catching and throwing frisbees, and then we used frisbees to knock over cones.
3.) Learned about using outlines to create drawings in art. Then we made beautiful paintings using chalk and paint!

The Mighty Dieners:
1.) In Math, one group reviewed the touch points for the numbers 1-5 and learned the touch points for the numbers 6-9. The second group continued to work on fractions.
2.) In Fine Motor rotations, the activities included: copying shapes given on a card and making them using rubber bands on a peg board, making designs with pegs and lacing a shoelace through the pegs, using stencils to write words, using different shaped color blocks to recreate a given pattern and using magnet sticks and balls to build with.
3.) In Science we finished working on our animal habitats!

The Golden Owls:
Today in the Golden owls we had a great Tuesday!
1.) We finished our habitats during our science class with Ms. Melissa putting the finishing details in our environments.
2.) During math we continued to review time while also working on fractions of 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8.
3.) We had our Tuesday music lesson with Mr. Dave who sang fun music with us and continued building our musical skills while working on both beats and rhythm.
