Emails from Dewi

I arrived safely in Connecticut! We are having so much fun together. We've done so many things together. I helped the class with fractions during math time. The children didn't know that I was that good at fractions! One thing that I really enjoyed was watching a snowflake slideshow with the class. We were watching the slideshow because we had read a book called Snowflake Bentley. Have you read that book before? You can visit the web site at www.snowflakebentley.com.

I am really surprising them! I did reading groups with the students. I helped the class with daily oral language, their unfinished work, spelling, journal and even did centers. The girls and boys think I had the most fun with our seed lesson. They are right! I was helping them disect seeds in class. The class also planted seeds so we can learn how seeds grow. We talked about words like germinate and botonist. Did you know that a coconut is a giant seed that floats?
Morning meeting is something I really enjoyed. This is when we play games, read the morning message, share and talk about what is going to happen during the day. Indoor recess is something cool that makes me happy. Creating and decorating crowns was something else that I liked. The children want to know if I am always this much fun? What do you thing?
Love,
Dewi

P.S. Hope you write back. Our friend Brooke is on the way.
