Look how much we’ve learned! The students are doing a wonderful job recognizing their letters and numbers. During the month of November, the students were introduced to the letters F, G, and H. They created letter crafts for each of the letters: F for frog, G for goose and H for hippo.
The students learned to form T, I, U, C, O, 1, 2 and a circle in Readiness and Writing. The students enjoy using the different manipulatives to practice the formation of these letters including play doh as they “roll out” the letters, touch and feel flash cards, and magnetic pieces. The students learn to say the steps as they form the letters.
In Math, the students are growing by leaps and bounds! You can find the class lining up and discussing which ordinal position they are in, sorting and comparing tag bag lines, counting different objects, comparing different sized objects, and naming the numbers they see.
In Language and Literacy, the students spoke about feelings as we explored different emotions and completed a capital letter sort. The students were introduced to the parts of a book, went on a letter hunt, followed directions, and picked an object and told the class about it.
During Word Time, we finished up our school unit and have moved on to a unit about animals. The students love having daily visits from Squawker the parrot as he shares new vocabulary words with us.
Twiggle theTurtle and his friends have also come for visits to talk to us about emotions during PATHS (Promotion Alternative Thinking Strategies) time. We’ve learned that it is ok to feel a certain way, even if we are mad or sad, but it is not ok to hurt someone because of how we are feeling.
We talked about all that we are thankful for and how fortunate we were to be able to spend time with our grandparents during our Grand Event. Thank you to everyone who helped to make our celebration a time to remember.
