With Mrs. Nelson today, she read us a book about being thankful for many different things in life. Afterwards, we had a discussion about all the things we were or were not thankful for.

The afternoon was spend graphing. We started the graphs with partners last week and finished them today. We were to choose 4-5 items from around the classroom and create a graph with it. There are some good looking graphs!

To end the day we had a class discussion about the Pillars of Care. Lately, we have been having a harder time with Care for Others. We continue to work on talking politely, waiting patiently for our turn, using our hands and feet appropriately, and using the 9 problem solving strategies to solve small problems. Tomorrow we will be doing a writing activity on what the Pillars of Care look like, feel like, and sound like.
