On Monday we compared apples and pumpkins using a Venn diagram. This was an activity that our field study student, Miss Bergstrom, prepared for us! We also made a Halloween book for our book bin drawer. In the afternoon, we went to gym and music, read a Let's Find Out magazine, and had calendar time.
On Tuesday we went to library in the morning and then visited two literacy centers. Centers this week included a story on CD, stamping the words I and like, writing we, see, and the in rainbow colors, making a little sight word book for our book bin, writing initial sounds for word pictures, and cut-up words. In the afternoon, our special was gym. We also worked on making a turkey and putting together our November calendar.
Today we went to the second centers in our rotations. We also cut up a predictable sentence with the words I and LIKE. I was impressed with the pictures that our class drew to go with their pictures! Our class is starting to use more imagination and add more details to their pictures! In the afternoon we went to the computer lab and went on a website called Funbrain. This is a website that you can visit from your home computer as well! There are lots of fun games that help your child learn better mouse control. In math this week we are learning about different types of patterns. Today, we worked with a partner to build AB (2-part) patterns using different objects in the classroom.
Later in the week we will finish up our centers and learn about spiders! We will also talk about other types of patterns.
These are some websites that we use at school:
