Thursday and Friday

THURSDAY: 

We continued learning all about me and our bodies. We measured each Fish friend to see who was taller, who was the tallest, who was shorter, and the shortest.  












Matthew made a cool rainbow pattern tower. 
Olivia and Ryan worked together and built a long connecting tower. 
We listened to different sounds on the computer and had to guess what sound it was. (listening to environmental sounds)
Ms. Lexi read the book "The 5 Senses". We brainstormed and discussed the 5 senses and what we use our five senses for. 

Sound shakers! Ms. Amy made sound shakers to make mystery noises and the students had to guess what they thought was inside. We made predictions as to what we thought was in the shakers. Was it loud, was it quiet, did it sound hard, or soft, etc


Ask me what was in the shakers. (Rice, bells, pompoms, crayons, and coins).

"In the cookies of life, friends are the chocolate chips." 

Thursday afternoon we watched Star fall on the letter "L", we talked about what words start with the letter L and the sound /l/ makes. Then we traced our handwriting without tears L pages.




At snack, we brainstormed "L" words. 
Today is Friday! We practiced the calendar today by singing the months of the year, days of the week and counting up to 10. 


Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, today is Friday, woo! 

We are adding in show-n-tell is our Friday schedule. You will receive a note when it is your child's turn to bring show-n-tell. It should be one item that can fit in a bag, no weapons, masks or swords. 

At snack we played the game "Headbandz". It was a great game that we had to describe what was on the card to Ms. Erin. 

In conversation language, we used our sense of touch and put our hand into the mystery box and guessed what was in the box. Each item felt different. Wet, smooth, dry, hard, soft, bumpy, spiky and long are words we used to describe the items. 







In math, we played "what doesn't belong?" and had to take away the object that didn't match the other objects. We used the language: ____ doesn't belong because it isn't (something hot, a pet, a zoo animal, etc) This game also practiced categories.

We each took our cards and placed them correctly in their grouping of 'what goes together'. Categories were "people" "things that are hot" and "farm animals". 
Our fish friends were busy building with blocks and legos and playing with magnet people.


Today we sorted L words. We had to look at the pictures and say if they start with the letter L or not. 

We used cubes to count syllables. 1, 2, 3, and 4 syllable words

Winter

 This week we introduced the theme "Winter". We brainstormed what the season of winter is like, how the weather feels, and the different warm clothes we wear in winter, and things we can do in winter.  Matthew and Olivia counted winter objects and had to circle the correct number in their math book. They also made a pair of mittens. We discussed how a pair of mittens looks the same and are the same color or have the same patterns. In circle we described things we need to play in the snow in winter. Coat, hat, mittens and gloves were some of the items we may need.  "B" this week's  letter is B. 2 small curves and a big line makes a "B." Shaving cream letters was fun!  Olivia and Ryan made a domino train!  In art, we had a party. We used paint sticks and dobbers to make pictures.  Winter is for Snowflakes  was a good book introducing some of our vocabulary of winter clothes and things to do in winter.  Brainstorming things we use, wear or need ...

 SECOND STEPS:  Marissa and Shontell were riding a bike. Marissa felt scared but Shantell was excited!  We discussed  their feelings and how it's okay to feel differently then a friend about the same situation.  Roman, Shawn, Ryan and Matthew did great building a magna tile building.  Sewing/lacing stockings was one of activities this morning.  The question we practiced asking other classes and the office staff was "how many friends are in your class?" We took turns asking the questions and counting the correct number of candy canes for the class. The office staff had 5 ladies in the office.  Christmas bingo and riddles were fun. Each of us took turns playing teacher and describing pictures to our friends. Our friends guessed which picture we were talking about. Our target was the word "and"combining sentences.  In math we counted Christmas and holiday stickers into the correct number window on the gingerbread house. Peeling stickers is a gre...

Holiday, week 2

Image
 " Mr. Willoby's Christmas Tree " was a book about a tree being too tall. There was lots of problem solving that had to happen and each character decided to share the top of the tree with someone else.  It truly emphasized the feelings of giving and receiving. We each made our own tall Mr. Willoby tree after the book!   "What is your favorite Christmas cookie" was our question of the day. Most friends like chocolate chip and gingerbread cookies. They all look really yummy!  Monday morning's activity was building words together.  We really worked our brains or "thinking caps" as the students learned to solve the words.  In journals, we drew how we decorate our homes at the holiday time.  MATH: Coloring the gingerbread man was a following directions activity. Each of us had different colors to color depending on what the direction was. EX: "If you have a dog, color the nose yellow, if you have a cat color the nose orange."  Cutting and patt...
