PEEK AT THE WEEK

• This month we are learning all about weather and the four seasons. This week we focused on winter.
• We read interactive books about what people wear, do, and see during the winter months.
• The children drew in their journals and practiced their handwriting skills by tracing lines and the letter of the week – “T.”
• We were able to have outdoor recess and enjoy the beautiful weather on Monday! It was so fun to be able to go on the swings and slides. The playground has been very muddy the past few weeks so we have been stuck inside.
• We practiced our core vocabulary by talking about what the word “same” means. We read a book about things that are the same and talked about how things that are the same look alike or match.  Then we found objects around the room that are the same.
• The children and Ms. Kim practiced their counting and number recognition skills with touch math and the book “Eight Silly Monkeys.”
• We celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday by reading several of his books. After reading, we worked on our fine motor skills by tearing up red and white paper to make Cat in the Hat hats.
• The children continued working on their alphabet books by gluing triangles all over their “T” page.
• We practiced fine motor skills and one to one correspondence by placing pom poms in muffin tins and butterfly shaped erasers in ice cube trays. The students are practicing putting one object into each of the sections in the divided containers.  Some children worked on their pincer grasp while others used tongs and tweezers to pick up the objects.
• The children started their four seasons tree collages by painting snow all over their winter tree with a q-tip.
