A Fun Friday!

Miss Lubs Class: Today we finally finished reading our book called “Granny Torrelli Makes Soup” by Sharon Creech – the kids seemed to really enjoy the book and we had a great discussion about the lessons learned. Next week…..we will do some activities as a culmination to our book.  Tutto va bene!

4th Grade Girls Groups: Today we read an old Hungarian folk tale called The Warm Fuzzy Tale which was written in 1969 by Claude Steiner.  We then made some warm fuzzies with the understanding that the girls were to give one of them away to another person to spread happiness!

Social Thinking Group: Another lively group…..hard to harness all the energy and keep Brain Eater from appearing! Our “What did you say? What did you mean?” phrase today  was: Sometimes this group talks so much that it drives me up a wall!” This helps our kids understand metaphors and idioms. We also continued our game called Bamboozle! This game helps the kids to pay attention to “The Big Three” – Vocal Tone, Body Language and Facial Expression. Today, the boys told me how their vacations were by making sure to use the word “Bamboozle”  in a way that communicated the feeling! Finally, we tossed the ball around identifying the Unthinkables that have invaded our brains this week and then played a guessing game with the Unthinkables. The boys did a fabulous job today!

An awesome end to the week!
