This week during "Flip Flop" time half the class heard the story "A House Is A House For Me." Following that we had a big discussion about what things are houses for other things. We really stretched our brains and came up with some very creative ideas; a book is a house for a story, a porcupine is a house for quills, a mouth is a house for spit ... to name a few. We each wrote our ideas in house shaped books!
In Math, the children used non standard and standard forms of measurement to measure their heights. We talked about feet and inches and used a tape measure. Each child got to bring a string home that shows their measured height!

Poem of the Week
The Bus
There is a painted bus,
With twenty painted seats,
It carries painted people
Along the painted streets.
They pull the painted bell,
The painted driver stops,
And they all get out together
At the little painted shops.
