Toby

The Tail Waggin' Tutors Program started today.  Dianna Vaughn and her dog Toby will be working with our class two Thursdays per month.  Dianna spent some time with the children talking about what therapy dogs like Toby do and how one should handle animals.  Afterwards we got a chance to read a "good fit" book to Toby and Dianna with an "EEKK" buddy (Elbow to Elbow, Knee To Knee).  We are excited about Toby helping us become better readers.  Toby was all we could talk about after he left.  We even wrote stories and letters about Toby that we are excited to read to him next time!

We finished our "very hungry caterpillar" crafts today.  The children pointed out how we "recycled" in order to make our caterpillar craft.

Our Social Studies unit this month focuses on maps and "Where in the World Are We?".  We can identify our city, state, country, continent and planet!  Today we did a scavenger hunt with a United States map.  We found the state we live in, counted the number of states we have visited and more!
