Ms. Mikki’s Newsletter
Sept. 16th
Events of the week: Our M/W class enjoyed the FFA animal and farm machinery exhibits. They saw chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, a donkey, cow, horse, dog and goats. This week we read the books, I can, I can, and Hands, Fingers, Knees and Toes. We each shared and "I can statement" of something we could each do and wrote it on a chart. In math we measured ourselves with a piece of yarn and compared it to our peer's. We started to talk about likes and differences and will continue working on this skill.
