Last weekand this week were full of Caldecott fun--projects, books, voting on books, creating banners for our parade, and much, much more! In math, we started learning strategies for subtraction, and will continue learning how to break apart and reform numbers for awhile. In writing, we spent a lot of time writing about different Caldecott books. The students voted on their favorite books, and from those favorites, we formed groups to represent books in our Caldecott parade. What a festive time! All the other students in the school lined the hallways to see the first and second grade classes march through wearing costumes, crowns, kitten ears, and carrying banners and books for their groups. We saw quite the turn out! Then we got to do various Caldecott-inspired activities, where students did a roll and color-by-number, created Caldecott-themed hats, and got a tutorial on how to draw a Wild Thing from a real book illustrator! It was quite the treat. Thank you for those who came and helped and came to the parade--I hope you enjoyed it! For those who were unable to make it, I hope you can live a little bit of our day through the myriad of photos included below. Have a safe and happy weekend!
