Kinder and First: Quiet or LOUD!

Those kinder and first graders come back from summer REALLY excited! We read the book "Shh, We Have a Plan" by Chris Haughton. We discussed that the guys in this story really needed to be quiet in order to get what they wanted... the bird! Sometimes, there are time that we need to be quiet!


Once we read our book, we watched this quick video from Sesame Street called Quiet or Loud! The students loved it, they giggled a lot! This video really hit the message home, there is a good time to be loud and a good time to be quiet. We brain stormed places to be loud and places we can be quiet. The library always come up on the list but it's up to you where you'd like it to be... quiet or loud... :)

Happy 4th week of school everyone!
