HEART Jar Reward

We have filled our HEART Jar!  As a reward, tomorrow, Wednesday, January 26, will be Toy Day.  The students are allowed to bring in one small toy to play with at choice time.  It should be a fun day!

Fire Safety

We had a visit today from Littleton firefighters who shared some important lessons on fire safety. Students learned the difference between toys and tools and when to get an adult. They also practiced stop, drop, and roll, and learned the importance of covering their face when rolling. Please ask your children to share their thoughts on fire safety!

Welcome New Friends!

As you may have heard from your child, we have welcomed two new friends to our classroom!  We are spending some time getting to know each other and the new routines.  I think these three smiling faces tell the whole story!

HEART Jar Reward

Hi Everyone and Welcome Back!

We began 2016 on a high note!  The children filled the HEART jar today and have earned a reward.  Students can bring in a stuffed animal tomorrow, Tuesday, January 5.  The animal should fit in their backpacks for ease of transportation.

Busy As Elves

We are busy as elves here in Transitional!  We are looking forward to our class holiday party on Wednesday, December 23.  Thank you to all of the parents who have contributed to our celebration!

Lego Lab

Our Transitional students have had the opportunity to do some fun, hands-on learning with Lego Lab. Lego Lab combines math concepts and Legos -- something many children love! The children have been working both with partners and alone to explore new concepts in the computer lab.

Colonial Life

The children had an opportunity on the day before Thanksgiving to see a wonderful presentation on Colonial life presented by Mrs. Badger (our own Ms. Badger's mother). This was a hands-on experience with children getting to crush cinnamon, write on slates, play a ball and cup game, and explore actual Colonial artifacts collected by Mrs. Badger over many years. In preparation, we read Sarah Morton's Day, giving children a chance to discover what a child's day was like during the time around the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth.
