Literacy

Poem: Orange

Word Wall 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.

I hope you got a chance to listen to your child retell you a story they enjoyed from this week! 

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. 

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 Wednesday, 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!

Thursday, our class explored the sense of hearing. Check your child's red folder to find out our predictions and the outcomes recorded on their recording sheet.

Lastly, on Thursday, 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 Thursday!

Don't forget to send your child's sight word baggie back tomorrow to ad new words!

Sophia was the "Hippest in the House" for the character trait responsibility this month.

Happy Birthday Austin who celebrated his 6th birthday this week!
