Happy Tuesday! We took a wonderful class photo this morning and we’re excited to see it in the yearbook in a few months!
QUESTION OF THE DAY
K: Can everyone talk at the same time?
S: It’s possible! If you say “1,2,3,4” and everyone talks, it’s loud!
S and M showed us that when everyone talks it turns into noise that we can’t understand.
R: If you talk at the same time, it’s super loud!
E: You can only hear screaming if everyone is loud. It hurts my ears.
K: Me and S go over here and talk, and C, you say something to them.
K and S went outside the circle and began to chat while C talked to the rest of us. Then they stopped and returned to the circle.
K: C! I said talk to them. You talk, talk, talk.
C: I was talking to them the whole time!
K: Ehh?? I didn’t hear.
S: I heard but I don’t know what you said.
K didn’t even realize that C was talking, and S didn’t know what was said. Other flowers children were trying to listen to K and S’s conversation and didn’t hear C. We could see how much of a distraction it can be for more than one person to be talking at the same time.
We played telephone to test how well our ears were working. C started the game by whispering “Shelley” into S’s ear, and by the time it went around the class, R said, “Woof woof bucket!”
We needed to lock in if we wanted the word to get all the way around the circle. This time the word was “elephant” but we ended up with “I love you, S.”
As we worked our way back to find where we got mixed up, we realized that elephant made its way around most of the circle until someone decided to change it. It’s also important to show respect for the game and our friends as many of us felt sad when the word was changed on purpose. We felt like our buckets were empty.
M: My bucket is half now…
We tried filling them up again by sharing some ways that we can care for others.
S: Ask our teachers, “How are you?”
M: Say, “I like you.”
Flowers class knows how to fill buckets and bucket dip too. Let’s make good choices so that we all have full buckets!
Love,
Flowers
