This week we learned so much.  We talked about our feelings and how it is okay to feel happy, mad, confused, proud, hurt, lonely, excited, and even sad.  We wrote about different times in our lives when we have felt each of these.  We also learned how to use an "I" message with others.  Our words are one of the most powerful tools we have, so we need to use them.  We learned how to tell someone when they are bothering us, or when they do something that we appreciate.  The sentence clause for an I message is "I feel__________, because you ________________, please _______________."  If you hear me using an "I" message at home please, congratulate me.  This week we finished reading our 5th book. Woohoo!!  We are becoming great readers.  The more we practice the better we get, so please ask me to read to you at home =)  In math we talked about the different attributes that objects have, like shape, color, size, and thickness.  We also learned about making an equal set.  Ask me to show you.
