Spring and Garden

Spring is upon us! This week we introduced the theme "Spring and Gardens". We will discuss the way plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables grow,  what these things need to grow (water and sunlight) and how we keep a garden alive. 



The playground padding got replaced and we loved watching the men mix it and lay it on the ground! 

In math, we put the beads on the pipe cleaners to match the numbers. 



The counting tubes were also fun. The balls go into the tubes to match the number. 



JOURNALS: What would your garden look like? 



Brainstorming what we know about gardens and spring was fun! 

Circle time question: "Do you have a garden at home?" 


Ms. Amy worked with us on cutting letters out to make the word "SPRING" and following directions to color the spring picture. 






SPRING SCAVENGER HUNT:
There were many items on our list to look for outside on our spring scavenger hunt! 











ART:
Nancy Rourke was a deaf artist that uses primary colors in her art work. Today we used red, blue and yellow to make our "LOVE" sign language picture. 




MATH:
We made pom pom gardens! Matching the number of pom poms to the number at the top of the page got harder as the numbers got bigger. 





Dora's picnic was a great puzzle, we worked together! 



Seeds! How do the seeds look? What shape are they? What color flowers do you think will grow from them? 






The Fish Room Flower Shop is open! What would you like?  Pink flowers, yellow flowers with an orange or blue flowers? 


Would you like your flowers in a vase or in tissue paper? 





In Ms. Amy's group, we practiced listening to the sounds of the words she said so we could write it. 








We practiced patterning spring items and matching shapes and numbers. 








This week we are reviewing letters. 

"Jack and the Beanstalk" was a good book. We also dotted how many syllables the pictures from "Jack and The Beanstalk" had. 





Today we planted grass seeds. We brainstormed the steps we needed to follow to plant the seeds and help the grass to grow.

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...
