Farm, part 1

 FARM: What do we know about farm animals and the farm? We brainstormed lots of ideas. 


Dancing is always good for the soul! 
 

In music we danced and used big lines to make letters and tap.
.   



We colored our Easter coloring sheets very nicely! 

Farmer patterns: we used people connectors to make farmer patterns. 





In math we placed the correct number of rain drops under the umbrella. We also started learning about the number 1. 





"Pete the Cat and 5 Little Bunnies" was a cute book, after we each made bunny ears! 

Farm animal and bug patterns and sorting: 


Our seeds are growing! We cut and made a seed sequence to discover our beans/plants/flowers grow. 


Patterns, play dough and counting! 





 


"What is your favorite farm animal?" was our question of the day. We took turns asking each other what our favorite farm animals were.

ART: Today was an art party in the art room! We played with play dough, moon sand and made dot pictures. 


. 

JOURNALS: We drew our favorite farm animals. 


In math, we played the game "memory". 

Ask me to sing the "one" song! 

Magna tile building was fun this morning!
. 
We did the bunny hop dance for movement time. 

"Over, under, below, above, beside, between and next to" were all prepositions we worked on with Easter pictures. 


"Pete The Cat's 5 Little Bunnies" was a cute book! 

Patterning worms for math. 

We discussed how to be a good friend and share. We brainstormed different ways we can take turns with something or even trade. We talked about breathing for a minute and just taking a second to think. 

"The Little Red Hen" was our book this week. It talked about how the hen felt when nobody would help her, what she made and the sequence of making the bread.


We put easter pictures in an easter basket. 

.  
Marbling egg art was fun! 




Mat man became a bunny! 

.  Horses, farm animals and barn were open for centers. 



Hippity hop, bunny dance was fun! 

Being outside was so nice! We even found a robin egg! We moved it to a safe place outside the playground fence. 




Each of us made our own farm pictures. 


After we read "The Turkey's Easter", we made bunny shadows.



 

We had an EGGCELLENT morning! =)
We dyed easter eggs, went on several easter egg hunts and played a "shake the egg" game! Ms. Lisa placed various items in the plastic eggs and we predicted what was in them, shook them and opened them up to see what the items were inside.






























It's Friday! 
























We described the egg.

We smelled vinegar.




SHOW-n-TELL: 
Shawn borrowed a hamster to show and Ryan borrowed a train engine to show.

Winter

Image
 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...
