This morning during chapel, Pastor Matt shared with us the importance of being the salt of the earth! 

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."  Matthew 5:13-16

Back in the classroom we were able to see the inside of the coconut!  

We were also able to taste it! We increased our language skills as we used our senses to describe what the coconut tasted like. 

We also drank some of the coconut water.

Tasting the coconut water

We practiced jumping jacks in the gym.

Then we did a fun relay! 

Then we had fun running and playing together! 

Free choice time

We wrote our descriptions of the coconut meat.  :) 

Second small group time we continue to explore ramps.  We incorporated foundational math skills including measurement, number recognition, and writing numbers too! 

Exploring the marble works

We strengthening our numeracy as we sang Five Green and Speckled frogs.  We practiced writing the numbers too! 

We had fun increasing our phonemic awareness skills with Mrs. Zwettler as we completed silly rhymes. 

Second free choice time 

The ability to tune out the noise around and focus on the task at hand strengthens divided attention.  Divided attention is an important component of executive function.
