Construction, part 2


This week we continued learning about construction and repair shop. We took turns being the customer and the repair (wo)man. Lots of things needed fixing around the Fish room. 




We counted tools and discussed "more and less" with numbers. 

 

TOOL BELTS: 

Blippi showed us his tool box and tool belt. We learned ways to fix things and discussed how things would be fixed with certain tools.

Fill in the numbers

RECESS FUN

TOOL BOXES 

We reviewed tools that we may use to fix something and placed them in our tool box.  The students used the sentence structure: We use a _____ to _____.  We use a hammer to hammer nails in wood.

TOOLS VS. NOT TOOL activity

Lacing tools and hammering golf tees in styrofoam.




The fish friends love playing repair man, playing with gravel and cars, and building with blocks. 






Ellie has been playing games with our friends. Turn taking, patience and encouragement are all practiced while playing games.

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 ...

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?"

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...
