It was our first Town Meeting of the school year. All of the classes at EVCS gathered together in the auditorium at 10:30am to join together as a community and sing some peaceful and powerful songs. Soon a schedule will be posted so that families can join the Town Meetings.
Our first song was Down By the Riverside. The kids learned the song quickly, and by the end everyone was clapping and singing like pros!
If you want to sing together at home, here's the "million dollar quartet" - Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis - singing the song!
On the last day of the week (so usually Fridays) we have a full period of Choice Time. Today, students built with blocks, played with puppets, explored with dominoes, designed patterns with pattern blocks, and created their own paper-bag puppets.
Unfortunately, most of the pictures I took of the awesome creativity going on had the kids in the pictures - so I can't post them here. I hope to have them available for Wednesday's Curriculum Night, though!
Pattern Blocks!
Hand-made puppets!
We also did a great deal of writing this morning, a lot of reading this afternoon, and played some math games as well! And of course we visited Roberta's art room too! It was an eventful day full of explorations, learning,
I hope you all have a restful and wonderful holiday weekend!
