Crazy hair day was pretty fun to see! We edited our morning message for digraphs and took a crazy hair picture with Mrs. Bezugley and Ms. Manser. We had a crazy hair superstorm with the other two classes and shared the book, "Stephanie's Ponytail." Afterward we got to design our craziest hair self portraits in our visual journals, working with new friends from the other classes. We had a fun, heart-pumping grade one dance party before snack, and then enjoyed another short dance party with the WHOLE SCHOOL in the gym! That was exciting! We completed our last round of this week's literacy centers, then finished our day with exit journals and a birthday celebration.
