Thursday and Friday

Happy Friday! Have a good weekend! 

Ryan and Matthew compared the height of their towers. Shawn and Roman built tall towers also. Fine motor practice at it's best!

.  

Olivia enjoyed making rainbow patterns. 

SECOND STEPS: This week we talked about focusing our attention.  We discussed how having watching eyes and listening ears lets another person know we are listening to them. 


HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY ROMAN! We made him a cake and sang "happy birthday"!


We worked on big, medium and small. We cut out paw prints, put them in order from big-small and glued them on paper. 






Big Room fun! 



In math, we stamped the correct number on the page labeled with a numeral. 

"The more you read the more things you'll know, the more that you learn the more places you'll go."-Dr. Seuss

This morning we went in to Otters and participated in an in-service. We told them about our awesome hearing aids and cochlear implants! Ms. Erin read a book and even let them hear what it would sound like if they had a CI. The fish friends did a superb job advocating for themselves and talking about how their devices help them hear. This skill will be so important this year and in kindergarten.



This afternoon we bought more pets and supplies at the pet shop. We practiced the sequence of deciding on a pet, determining the materials we need, and checking out.


We also played "Guess Who?" pet style. We took turns being the teacher and describing the pet we wanted our peers to guess. 
During snack we brainstormed "T" words. 



FRIDAY: 

Today is National Custodian's Day. We made pictures for Rosie and Alicia to thank them for their hard work. 

We also built towers and robots with legos. 



Can you believe it's already October!? 

SHOW-N-TELL: We asked a lot of good questions to figure out our friends show-n-tell (who gave it to you, what size is it, how does it feel, how do you play with it, etc). Olivia brought a teddy bear, Matthew brought Buzz Light year and Roman brought a trash truck with trash cans. 



We took the pet supples and played a "what's missing?" game. We listed all the supplies then closed our eyes and had to guess what Ms. Erin took away from the group. 

" Visual Discrimination" is the concept we learned during math. One picture was different then the others and we had to tell which one was different and why. 


"Zingo"! was a fun game! 



We brainstormed "T" words today and glued them to the letter T. We also made our own letter T's.

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 ...

Holidays part 2, week 2

 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...
