Parents, Tom Turkey is due Friday. Please include your child's name on the back, along with the name of the turkey (angel, baseball player, Santa, etc.). Get creative, silly, and have fun! Mrs. Miller is making a turkey too, with the help of her incredibly artistic husband. :)
Today, we made Native American headdresses and children will add a feather each day for great behavior. Hoping to see tons of feathers on the children's heads! Here's what else we're working on:
Reading We are reading a nonfictional book about Native Americans and a fictional story, the Legend of Bluebonnet. Focus is finding the main idea, describing characters, and setting. Phonics skill: identifying the /h/ and short a in words.
Language Arts Focus continues to be on phonetic spelling (sounding out words) in writing sentences, beginning sentences with capital letters, word spacing, and punctuation. I can see that we have some amazing little writers!
Math This week we're focusing on making, counting, and writing 6 to 8. Some of our math centers include: counting corn (kernels), leaf sorting, using playdoh, pipe cleaners, yarn, and craft sticks to form numbers, making a collage of numbers, and a fun game called Roll-a-Turkey (children follow directions to create a turkey with a roll of the dice).
Science The focus is on daytime and nighttime patterns, and on Friday (with your help) we will begin working in our 5 day science journal. The journal will go home Friday for children to record their observations of the sun and moon.
