Block and color matching

Image
During morning meeting, each friend was given a colored block to match with the corresponding construction paper. Each friend was called on and they would show/ tell the class what color block they had before they matched it with the paper. After everyone had a turn we counted how many blocks each color had. The second time we did the activity, instead of calling each friend up, one at a time, I asked friends to come up when they had the corresponding block to the color I was saying. Everyone did a great job following directions and identifying the color of the block they were given.

Animal balancing

Morning meeting story time! In this book it talked about our five senses. As a group we talked about which body part was associated with that sense and what it was used for. "We use our ears to hear!" Great work friends. There's a bird on your belly! Don't let it drop Ellie! Halia balancing her zebra! Dalia focused on keeping her bear on her belly. During morning meeting we practiced taking calming breaths as to not knock our animals off our bellies! Friends focused on balancing their animals as they breathed in and out. Some friends took smaller breaths, while others took bigger ones to push out their stomachs! We then talked about the animal we had and showed our friends! Friends thought it was pretty funny trying to balance the animals!
