SCIENCE AND COLORS!
This week was all about colors! We talked about secondary colors after mixing primary colors.
We placed white carnations in colored water. What will happen? This week we will follow our flowers to see what will happen to each carination. Will they turn colors? Die? Wilt?
We practiced writing, cutting and sounding out words this week. We worked very hard on all of these skills. We also counted, glued numbers in order and wrote weather words by the sounds of letters.
SECOND STEPS: We talked about naming our feelings. There are many feelings we experience throughout our day. Learning to calm your body and cope with these feelings are important.
Duplo blocks were fun to build with.
"W" is our letter this week.
We made our own wild things crowns.
"Where the Wild Things Are" is the book we introduced this week.
MUSIC: We sang and danced around. We also had to fly like birds.
Lego city. How tall is your lego building? We had to identify the number and stack that many blocks to make a Lego city.
"Mouse Paint" was the book we read followed by painting/mixing with primary colors to see what colors we could make.
"What's your favorite color?" was the question on Monday. We practiced asking each other this question to prepare for an art project this afternoon.
ART: Patterns was the topic we talked about in art and then we made our own patterns with colored squares.
"Where the Wild Things Are" was the book we read yesterday and looked at today. We searched for difference shapes to make our own wild things!
We got to practice writing the letter "W" on the smart board!
Pastel colors were fun to paint with! We talked about mixing colors with white to get pastel colors.
We made our own "wild things" out of shapes!
Duplo blocks were fun to build with.
We mixed colors today to makes secondary colors.
"W" is our letter this week and we followed directions as to what color we should color which "W" picture.
We also counted dots on a dice and matched it to the right number and matched pictures to letter sounds.
"Pete The Cat I Love My White Shoes" was a great book to introduce colors and what happens when something white goes into a color and how to fix it.
We used Pete the Cat colors and made new colors, adding soap to make bubbles!
Model magic was fun to mix and make new colors with.
MATH: Dice monsters were fun to make. Each number was a different monster part.
"Pete the Cat My Groovy Buttons" was a great book!
"W" words were a little tricky for us but we thought of a few!
SECOND STEPS: Gabe was feeling sad because a friend was calling him mean names. We brainstormed ways to show and talk about our feelings as well as calm our bodies down and name the feeling.
We practiced letter sounds and we had to write the letter of the sound we heard. We came up with lots of words, also! We also made big shapes out of little shapes and patterned with shapes.
The carination experiment is very interesting as we checked out each flower and saw what was happening to them. The purple water wasn't going into the flower, so that was still white, which was a mystery to us!
SHOW-n-TELL: Ryan brought a car and Shawn showed a dinosaur.
Today we talked about volcanos: erupting, lava, ash, magma, etc and actually made one erupt in the classroom!!
"Elmer"
Words on the letter "W". We had to listen to the beginning sounds of words to see if the started with /w/
