Tuesday and Wednesday

 This week we started the theme "All About Me" and "The 5 Senses". We popped popcorn today and learned about how we can use all 5 senses to hear, taste, see and smell popcorn! 








Each fish friend took turns picking a picture and putting it in the correct slot if the 5 senses. Some of the pictures we could hear, some we can touch, some you could see, some you could taste, and some we could smell. We talked how sometimes you use multiple senses on some items. 


Our question of the day was "what kind of hair do you have?". We took turns asking each other what kind of hair we have and had to pick a picture. Words targeted were: curly, straight, black, brown, blonde, white, long, short

Roman and Matthew enjoyed puzzles. 

In journals, we colored self portraits of ourselves. We had to use the correct colors of our skin, hair, eyes and clothes. 


In art, we finished our lines pictures by adding white crayon and water colors. 





When our project is done we can build with blocks or play with kinetic sand. 



In math, Ms. Lexi made play dough with us. We focused on measurements and remembering the ingredients that we need.




We decided to make it red play dough! 




BUBBLES!




We found a chrysalis on the playground. Hopefully nobody touches it and we can see what happens. 








We read "Creepy Pair of Underwear". 


In handwriting without tears, we made the letter "L" with our big lines and little lines. We brainstormed words that start with the letter L. 


In math, we sorted items into the correct senses category. 


We tasted different items today and had to describe it. One item was sour (lemon), one was spicy (hot sauce), one was sweet (chocolate chips) and one was salty (pretzels).








Ms. Lexi read a book about "Taste". 

Ms. Amy played a matching rhyming game with us and 5 senses game with us. We had to match what went together correctly. 

Ms. Amy is "star of the week" this week. You will receive more information in the next few weeks about when your child is star of the week and what that entails.




Independent work: we each graphed the correct items into the correct scent slot.

This afternoon we made the cutest self portraits! 




In handwriting without tears, we used play dough to make the letters Ms. Erin made on the chalk board. We practiced using big lines, little lines, big curves, and little curves.

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...
