Wednesday and Thursday

Today (Wednesday) we made a pumpkin pie! We had to measure ingredients, stir the ingredients, and pour it in the crust. We took the pie down to the oven to bake. We talked about all of the items needed to make a pie and worked on sequencing the steps from a recipe. We also practiced using our sequencing words: first, then, next, etc.







We worked on counting, spelling and color by number with Thanksgiving vocabulary. 





Food patterns were a circle time activity Wednesday. We are getting good at ABAB, AABAAB, AABB, and ABC patterns.



In math we worked on mazes and tracing our hands to make turkeys. 



Our Thanksgiving meal was so good. We took turns making food, prepping food and sharing the food with our family. We played family and had different roles and working together to role play those characters. 








Pumpkin pie was a hit! Most of us liked it. 


THURSDAY: 
SECOND STEPS: We brainstormed ways to show we are mad or sad and how we can tell how our friends are feelings, even under a mask. We also practice using a friends face cues to tell how they are feeling.


We worked on counting food, sorting turkey shapes, and making thankful leaves for our tree at small group. 





In Big Room, we played legos and explored the science items and toys. 





WE ARE THANKFUL! 



We had a chance to be artistic during our feather painting! Each of us picked the color we wanted and painted with a feather. 







Above, below, beside, between, under and over are the words we used to make this Thanksgiving picture collage. 






This afternoon we watched a parade and a football game to practice that vocabulary. We also reviewed the book "A Turkey for Thanksgiving" and sorted pictures by beginning letter sounds. We worked on C, P, S, T. 


Happy Thanksgiving!!!

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...
