Doctor/Valentine's Day

Happy Wednesday! Today we started out by patterning Valentine's items. 


We worked on cutting nurse's tools and sorting them into the correct grouping, and tracing numbers after we counted hearts. 












"Itchy Itchy Chicken Pox" was a book about how rashes sometimes can be itchy and what we do about a rash. We made our own rashes on our person in math. We rolled the dice and counted the chicken pox.
.  
 
We also read "The Bad Case of Stripes". It was a silly book about how a little girl didn't feel well and her body changed from different colored stripes to American Flag stripes to rainbow stripes, etc. Lima beans fixed the 'bad case of stripes'! 
Roll and grab pom poms was a fun math game! We rolled the dice and had to use tongs to grab the correct number of pom poms. 



Caterpillar names were our literacy activity. 


"What is missing?" was the game we played at circle. Ms. Erin took doctor tools and we hid our eyes then she took one away and we had to guess which one was missing. We were able to practice our vocabulary.

 We cut hearts and valentine animals out to glue on our hearts. We are increasing the amount of writing and cutting we are doing in class.




We also traced or wrote doctor words. 





"Valentine's Day" was about Valentine's Day and how to celebrate it. We made a special project after the book, too. 
We practiced rhyming words and read "Should I Share My Ice Cream?" We have been focusing on appropriate ways to share and request toys from friends.

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...
