Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

We finished our week of back to school/friendship.  Here are activities from Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

 Roman worked hard on matching numbers to the correct number of objects. 

We did pretty good with one to one correspondence in math. We had to count the items and match to a number. We are practicing looking at an amount and recognizing how many without repetitively counting.


The fish room did a shared writing today. We took turns telling each other our favorite things. 

The gym is always fun with the otters! 




We practiced counting and identifying how many fish.

Choo Choo Choo Choo Up the Railroad track

Cutting is a skill we will work on all year. Today we cut shapes and lines! 
We practiced rhyming again today. The Fish friends are doing pretty good! 

Ms. Erin introduced "characters" "problem" and "what happened at the end" boards. We walked through the book Rainbow Fish again today and reviewed the characters, the problem and what happened at the end! 

THURSDAY:
At circle we charted what fruit we each liked then we counted which fruit had the most. 

We have been using our handwriting without tears MATMAN to practice using curves and lines. 



Fruit salad day! Today we brought in fruit to make fruit salad. We peeled, chopped, and stirred the fruit to make a yummy salad. 








In big room, we built with big blocks. We worked as a team and built a tall tower. 


Roman measured the firetruck with the blocks. 

In math, we sorted, counted and graphed colored goldfish. Which color had the most? Which color had the least? 


Matthew was excited to play with the cars and car ramps. 

Duplo blocks are always fun! 

We got to listen to "Rainbow Fish" on the "big screen" today. We practiced talking about the characters, problem, and what happened at the end.


FRIDAY:
Fun Friday! We always start out with legos on Friday mornings. 

Shawn built a human, 

Roman built a house and Olivia had fun building too. 

We reviewed the calendar, month of September, and the days of the week. We counted to 3 since today is the 3rd of September. 


We sang our "shake shake shake today is Friday song"! 
After circle, we introduced show-n-tell by reading the book "Show-n-Tell". Each student will have a turn to bring an item in from home to show friends. *More information to soon!*



Ms. Erin brought in a bulldozer for show-n-tell. Each student took a turn asking a question to get a clue about her show-n-tell. 

In conversational language we made friendship bracelets for each of our friends. We asked what their favorite color(s) were and put their name on it. 





When we were done, we gave the bracelet to our friend! 


In math, we rolled the dice and had the place the correct amount of fins on our fish.

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 ...

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...
