Construction

 This week we started discussing Construction. We brainstormed what construction workers need, the vehicles they use and diverse tools a construction worker needs to build or repair something. 

Concepts we are working on this week:

Number Recognition

One to one correspondence

Patterning

Number ID

Visual Recognition


JOURNALS: 

We drew what we thought a construction site would look like. 



Monday, we brainstormed what construction workers do and what they need. We also watched "Bob the Builder: Construction site" and learned about tools from him. 



In math, we played "UNO". 


"Find the Number" was another math activity. 

MATH BOOKS 1-20



This was our last art class with Ms. Tara! We made our field day banner, medals and had free art time. 






MAGNA TILE BUILDING
Say and circle Numbers

"What Construction Worker Does"


Lacing tools was a tricky task. We worked really hard to lace the string through each hole. 


"Pete The Cat's Construction" was a good book to learn about tools and construction vehicles. 

Summer sun!

Mr. Chris, the Ladue handyman fixed our sensory table! 
We loved discussing what tools we was using and how we could fix the sensory table. 
Chris used a wrench, screw drivers and added some screws to make it stable.

MATH: We did really good work writing numbers and the number names. We also counted dashes all the way to the correct number. Way to go fish! 

Building letters


"Do you have a hammer at home?" was our question of the day. 

Exploring real tools was fun. It was great to see how tools work and what they fix. We used various tools in the room to measure things or fix things. 




























SECOND STEPS:

Problem Solving- how can we solve problems? 


CONSTRUCTION VEHCILE PUZZLES: 

  

MATH: We put our names in order, predicted how many inches their name is, measured them in inches and wrote the correct number.

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...
