Pumpkins, part 2

 Roman is star student of the week! 

STARFALL: We made our pumpkins into jack o laterns today, 



The fish friends picked shapes to carve our pumpkin face. 

Ms. Amy worked on finding the letter P, number 4, one to one correspondence with pumpkin counting and size ordering big to small pumpkins. 







Today is "Apple Crunch Day" we each picked out an apple to eat and took pictures. 






Shaving cream with red and yellow paint make an orange pumpkin! Using our finger nail, we made shapes, letters and number in the shaving cream. 





"5 Little Pumpkins sitting on a gate" was not only a song, we used our fists to make pumpkins! 






Trains ran through the pumpkin patch Wednesday afternoon! 


Painting jack -o-laterns was fun! 

Acting out "Big Pumpkin" was fun! Ms. Amy read the book as we acted it out. Ask me how the story goes! 





We brainstormed a lot of "P" words! 

THURSDAY: 
Today we got to watch and sing along with "Have you ever seen a pumpkin?"


We worked on the number 4 and making a fall collage. We cut out fall leaves, pumpkins, apples, a scarecrow and more to create our collage! 







"Spookly the Square Pumpkin" was our book for conversational language. 

"The 10:21 great shake out earth quake" was easy for us! 

In math, we play pumpkin play dough. Not only is this a fun math activity but we learned turn taking, being patient, and measuring. We also discussed what ingredients you need to make play dough.
 





Rhyming: we matched objects with their rhyming word on the mat. 

Pink pigs start with the letter "P" on star fall. Then we traced and wrote the letter P. 



FRIDAY: In calendar, we counted all the way up to 22. 

Show-n-tell: Ryan brought a long truck and Shawn brought a bird and cheetah stuffed animal. 



Science: we did a "sink or float" experiment. We predicted which items would sink and which items would float. Ask me what objects we tried! 





In math, we clipped the clip on the correct number to match the how many pumpkins there were on each card. 




We also worked on rhyming words. We matched pumpkins that rhymed together.

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...
