It's amazing how much is happening in the Superstar classroom during the time we like to call "rest time". There is some resting going on, but it is a very valuable part of our schedule. It's the time when we can work one on one with the kids or in small groups. One day last week, I looked around the classroom during rest time. One child was writing and illustrating a story on his mat, another was doing a plant observation and measuring her bean plant. Three other children were quietly reading on their mats and 3 others were involved in a math group. Lots of learning was taking place during the time we call "rest time"! Other highlights included a visit by the Sharks to read us their stories, a visit from Pierce County to teach us about recycling and a visit from our friend Odin, the reading dog. It was a good week!
