Our morning circle is a busy and meaningful start to the day. The teacher assistants have been thinking and practicing writing the Question of the Day<\/em><\/strong> independently, carefully thinking about writing mechanics such as capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. It\u2019s wonderful to see them growing more confident as writers and taking pride in their work. Friends answer the question and share more about their experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this time, our teacher assistant also leads the class in reading sight words. Friends are encouraged to use a sight word in a sentence, helping them remember how to read the word and understand its meaning. These simple routines support both literacy skills and confidence, making our morning circle a calm and purposeful way to begin learning together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children enjoyed a hands-on craft activity as they created their own snowmen using white paper, toilet paper cores, yarn, and other materials. They explored different ways to decorate their snowmen, using their creativity and fine motor skills. It was lovely to see each child\u2019s snowman turn out unique and full of personality!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This activity supports concentration and focus, as the children work toward completing their writing goal with care and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
