We had a great week!
Here is the scoop...
Language Arts:
Our poem this week: Orange
Sight words: Orange, a
Concept: Retelling a story
Some of our books: Caps for Sale, Little Blue and Little Yellow, Brown Bear, Brown Bear--just to name a few!
Some of our projects: We made caps of red, brown, gray, and blue to help us retell the story, Caps for Sale. We learned that yellow and blue mixed together make green. The story of Little Blue and Little Yellow taught us that! Lastly, we made a color chain to represent each animal in Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear story.
We begin writing in our journals and learning about characters, settings, and events.
Some of our centers included: Writing Center, Library Nook, Name Nook, and Computers.
I hope you got a chance to listen to your child retell you a story they enjoyed from this week! Very fun!
Math:
In Math, we reviewed counting and creating sets or collections. Also, we started talking about sorting. We sorted ourselves by hair color, outfits and clothes, and by boy/girl. We created different representations of the number 6 and placed it in our counting jar. (Pictures to come)
Our Math Workshop time included exploring counting and sorting games. In addition, we started workshop stations around the room.
Science:
On Tuesday, we read and began discussing our 5 senses and how we use each sense. We learned that sometimes we are using more than one sense at a time.
On Thursday, we did a taste testing experiment with different items like:
M&M for our sweet tooth!
Pretzels for a salty snack!
Sour Patch Kids for something sour!
It was YUMMY!
Today, our class explored the sense of hearing. We joined Ms. K's class to experiment with different sounds. Check your child's red folder to find out our predictions and the outcomes recorded on their recording sheet.
Lastly, on Wednesday, we did go to the library to check out books! It was so exciting to find a book and check it out! Enjoy reading those at home! Just make sure you bring it back by this next Wednesday!
Have a great weekend! Enjoy our Smilebox of photos!
