For March is Reading Month we are reading Hiya Morah by victoria Nelson. This story is about a young girl’s life with special needs. Through her brave attitude, and silly humor, Morah is an inspiration for us all. This book has the timeless message about love and acceptance, and just saying “Hiya” when making a new friend with different abilities. Hiya Morah creates a space for children to celebrate how special and unique each of them were made to be.
Our U of M Friends from Creative Needs came and read to us about Pigeon and then made pigeons with us.
For math this month we are introducting measurements such as short and tall and working on sorting skills
