Life's a beach in room 107...

Yea right!! Well, at least today was. We spent the day at the beach along with our friends from our neighboring school. I thought I would do a beach scavenger hunt, and a science lesson on what we could collect, but that kind of went out the window when we got there. The kids were so excited to play in the sand, build castles, fly kites and play paddle ball with each other that I threw out the "academic" activities. Social play and expressive language can and are, just as important for some of my students anyway. Maybe tomorrow we can write about the beach and count our shells :)
