It's been a crazy and fun almost 4 weeks into the school year! We've had Fog Days and the county fair, with more events to come. For the last couple weeks, we started an author study about Mo Willems and have read several of his books including books from The Pigeon series and our class favorite, anything in The Elephant and Piggie series. While we read about elephant and piggy, the students wanted to know more about about real elephants. We read a nonfiction book about elephants and learned many facts about elephants, one being why elephants flap their ears. For our fair project, the two day class made paper plate piggies and the three day class made a paper plate elephants to go with our Moe Willems theme. This week we started our academic themes. We are learning about the letter A, Number zero, shape circle, and the color red. Here's what we did this week!
- painted an apple red
- sing-a-Song about circles
- completed finger plays about apples
- danced to the chicken dance, The dinosaur march, and sang our days of the week and months of the year songs during circle time
- we read "Secrets of the Apple tree" shine a light book from Usborne Books
- we practiced writing the A
- we fed Letter Muncher pictures that start with the A
- during gross motor time we picked apples and ran them back to Miss Rachel's basket
Next week we are learning about the letter B. Check back next week to see what we are up to in the classroom!
