Teaching the kids the way to draw a person with simple shapes will help them do it efficiently and effectively. This will make the process easier when the time comes to add illustrations to their written stories. (We didn't get to this yesterday.)

KinderMath:  Ordering Numbers 0-5 

Referring to the Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, the kids will be working on lining up the paper beds 0-5 and placing that number of 'monkeys' on each bed. Next, they will line the beds from 5-0 and put the corresponding number of monkeys on each bed. This lesson helps develop Collaborative Number Sense.

Bus Safety

Project: The kids will make a school bus to hang in our hallway.

Pedestrian Safety
