The Big Bad Wolf & A Monster Invasion

This week we finished up our houses for the 3 little pigs, we used a teddy bear. The students were put in pairs and given materials to build a house. The materials were popsicle sticks, toothpicks & sponges, and clay. Each group had glue to keep their house together. They worked together to create a house that was strong enough that the Big Bad Wolf  could not get in (the wind!). We tested the houses today and learned that the clay house was the strongest! It was awesome listening and watching the students work together to create the houses.

Our classroom has been invaded by monsters, behavior monsters! I have started using an application called Class Dojo, each student has a monster and can earn points for positive behaviors throughout the day. They can also get points taken away for unsafe behavior (I hope to not be taking many points away).  At the end of each day we will see who has the most points, that student will be able to choose a new monster for the next day. Ask your child  about their monster.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
