PEEK AT THE WEEK

  • This week we worked on practicing the core vocab words “I” and “like” by talking about our feelings and what Thanksgiving foods we like and do not like
  • We started our next unit which is about emotions and feelings
  • The children practiced one to one correspondence with ice cube trays and blocks
  • We read the story “Ten Apples Up On Top.” After the story we stacked 10 Legos. First we stacked them while counting, adding one each time until we reached ten, and the second time we made a pattern with red and green
  • This week work focused on the letter “f.” We sang letter “f” songs, complete “f” bingo sheets, read books about the letter, and complete our letter book page by adding a fish bowl
  • The children practiced counting and number recognition with the poem “Along comes Mr. Scarecrow”
  • We practiced recognizing numbers 1-9 with our bean sensory bin and number puzzle. The students take turns searching through the beans for a number piece and then add it to the correct spot on the puzzle
  • The children listened to a song about foods people eat at Thanksgiving and then I asked them which ones they like and do not like and we made a chart with our responses
  • We made turkeys and spelled our names out on the feathers.  The students had to use a brown crayon to color the body, push down on the stapler, and squeeze glue bottles.  They also had to match the letters in their names and stamp the matching letter on the feather.  Our turkeys are hanging in the hallway outside our classroom
  • The children read an interactive story about the color “orange” and complete a writing activity to go along with it
  • Some of us have been practicing sitting in big kid chairs and staying in one spot during circle time.  They are doing a great job!
