This week we talked all about where we can find signs. We went on a sign walk around Kloefkorn and talked about signs we might see in stores. The students even made signs for our classroom. Ask your child what they can tell you about signs.

Our small groups this week included going on a color hunt through the halls of the school, playing the game “Does the wind move it?”, and making signs using popsicle sticks.

Our social emotional lessons talked about identifying feelings. We practiced looking at people’s faces to help us identify how they are feeling. We also talked about safe and unsafe substances for our bodies.
