POST OFFICE/SCIENCE

What a crazy few weeks we have had! Thanks for participating in the AMI activities, we hope you had fun! You never know what the weather will bring!

Last week and this week's letter is "N". We made night N's with stars, clouds and a moon. 


Writing letters to mom and dad was fun! 

We worked really hard cutting out mail pictures to glue on our envelope. 




We sang a song about mailing valentines to teach other.  We each got a letter and Ms. Erin collected our letters and sang the song. We had to remember and count how many valentines were in the bag.

"Corduroy" was a cute book about a friendship and how Corduroy found his forever home. Ask me about Corduroy's button.

We made our own mailboxes and decorated our own stamps. 


SCIENCE:

We worked really hard using stencils to make pictures and to count.

"Guess Whose Shadow" was a great book to introduce how shadows work. We discussed when we may see a shadow and how shadows look. 

We practiced counting height of flowers and wrote the number. We also practice writing the entire alphabet and familiar numbers. 




Sink or float? Ask me about our experiment! 





Movement time this morning was dancing! 

Crowns was our art project with new marker pens!




We worked together and made a long train track, too! 

"How does it feel?" was a concept game we introduced about textures. The items were hidden in the box and we had to use our sense of touch to describe and guess what the item was. 

"Wacky Wednesday" was a funny book, so many things were wrong! 



MAGNETS: What is a magnet and what is not a magnet? We searched the room to see what can be magnetic and what cant. 







We also used magnets to move our marbles around to make a picture with paint! 







Climbing the mountain and running around the gym is always fun! 

SHOW -N- TELL - Roman showed a digger, Olivia showed a rainbow long tailed fox and Matthew showed his black stuffed dog. 




"Weather" is the topic we started talking about today. We brainstormed diverse types of weather and how the weather depends on 2 things: how the air feels and how the sky looks. 





PIZZA PARTY!! We played the game, Pizza Pile Up. It was game day Friday so we took turns playing the game, rolling the dice, finding out what topping we earned and how to place the toppings so the crust didn't topple over.  Lots of strategic planning!!!



Have a wonderful weekend! Warmer weather looks to come next week!

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...
