Class News From Miss. Ali- January 12th

Last week our unit was Friendship in honor of Martin Luther King Day on Monday, January 16th.

On Monday, we began practicing the letter J. We also each drew a friend in our classroom and described why they are good friends to us! Some of our friends said that they were friends because they like to play together and sit next to one another during lunch time. Our cute paper friend dolls are displayed in our room!


On Tuesday, we practiced the number 6 and began practicing our new number 7. We started our first day of our friendship tree project. Each group painted the leaves and trunk of our friendship tree~

On Wednesday, we continued practicing the letter J in our Handwriting Without Tears books and also continued our Friendship Tree project~ This time we cut out our tree and decorated leaves that we put our photographs on! This spectacular tree in on the outside of our classroom door.

On Thursday, we practiced some Language Arts skills and constructed our very own friendship quilt, which we "sewed" together with string! We also had drama with Mr. Michael and practiced sound effects!! The children had a great time making their own sound effects for different situations! We cant wait to see what Mr. Michael has in store for us for the rest of the year!

On Friday, we thought of words that began with the letter “J” and constructed silly sentences with them! We thought of sentences such as Juicy Jellybeans in Japan and James wears Jewelry in January!! We also had a fun Shabbat celebration with Cantor Carl!
