THEME: Fire week

Monday was our last day the Fish room pet shop was open. We stocked up on a lot of pets! We also started learning about "fire safety" this week.  


Ryan and Olivia played with a magnetic fire board. 
3 cuties sitting in trucks. 

We are fast at running and pushing trucks! 

In math, we traced the number 3 and practiced our one to one correspondence. 


Ms. Julianne did a virtual music today. 

Ms. Erin brought in her husband's fireman helmet, pants, and jacket. We got to try them on! 






We took a tour of a fire house and watched some videos on fires and fire safety. 



Practicing making the letter C and T was easy for us! 


We worked on cutting, stop, drop and roll sequencing and hot vs. cold items. 









We also did a coloring directions activity. 

 We made a firetruck too! We practiced using our sequencing words to put together a fire truck.  We were then given the materials and had to do it on our own.

In math, we rolled the dice and added that many dots to the dog.


Finger painting is always fun! 


Hot vs cold items-great practice for categories!


















SECOND STEPS:  we talked about focusing on who is talking and what we should be doing. If someone says "line up" we discussed "Self talk" and how we should focus on lining up. 

The big room was a good time! 





Matthew is star of the week. 

This month's character edu trait is "Friendly"- we brainstormed ways to be a good friend and how we can ask friends to play and help. This afternoon we read "The Bad Apple" and how we can be a good friend. 




We loved having the fire fighters visit.




















Below you will see pictures of us practicing dialing 9-1-1 and going to the scene to take care of the fire





























Ryan's show n tell was tricky, he brought in family pictures and Shawn brought in a truck. 

   
Matthew built a cool 2 person lego guy! 
Can you believe it's already mid October!? We counted how many days until Halloween!

The fire week scavenger hunt was fun. We went around the school inside and outside to see what we could find regarding fire safety.


This afternoon we put "C" words on the letter "C". 

"Fred the Firefighter" was a good book about helping people in a fire. We looked at ways to identify a fire and what we should do if there's a fire. 




Have a good weekend!

Halloween party Friday Oct. 29 (AM)

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...
