We had a bizarre day in PreK today! A book MADE me read all sorts of ridiculous words (one student even said that the book was "out of control") AND you children ate and (for the most part) liked vegetables!
We read, The Book With No Pictures and the kids loved it, because it is so funny. The author "requires" the reader to say all sorts of silly things (like "I am a monkey"). I love it, because it is such a good instructional tool to teach concepts of print (letters form words/words form sentences and we can read the sentences from left to right, top to bottom to tell a story). Concept of print is an essential pre-reading skill. We also ate flowers (broccoli), roots (carrots), seeds (peas), and leaves (lettuce). Some of the students were a little reluctant, but most of them found something they liked!

To celebrate Exceptional Children's week, we have been experiencing what it would be like to be blind. During the week, all students (who volunteer) will have the opportunity to be "blind" during one of our times in line. So far, they have done an excellent job helping each other to stay on track! Hopefully, everyone will have a chance to participate this week!
We are discussing veterinarians in class this week (along with other doctors). The students have had fun playing with our vet prop box. We are also reading a lot of pet books, so don't be surprised if you child wants a pet iguana when they come home!
