What a quick week we
had this week! We hope everyone had a nice long weekend together! This week we
began our unit on Families. Our question of the week was “Who is in your family?” We talked about how God made all of our families special and we even did some
graphing to show different aspects of our family. We made a graph showing
how many of us have a sibling, about how many older/younger siblings we had,
and about how many people live in our house. We did a great job! We really love
counting!
Our literacy unit this week really focused on syllables. We worked on clapping out the syllables in our concept words as well as other words we decided upon as a class. We really enjoyed clapping out each others names too. We sorted them by number of syllables and realized that many of us have names made up of 2 syllables! It was so much fun! We also worked on identifying some uppercase and lowercase letters. We used our whiteboards and practiced writing some of these letters as well as working on writing our names. We really liked the whiteboards. We will have to take those out again soon!
This week the letter we worked on was the letter Ff. We worked on writing it with the help of the “Crayon Song” and by using “Mat Man” to remind us that F is made up of a big line and two little lines. We even used our wooden Handwriting Without Tears blocks to create the letter Ff on the rug as well as other letters. We are really coming along with our letters and our crayon grip! Our coloring in the lines is pretty amazing too! Everyone is so proud of themselves when they realize they are holding their crayon correctly or stayed within the lines. It is such a great thing to witness!
During center time, the kitchen area was quite popular with the addition of the baby dolls. We all seemed to love playing family, taking on many different roles. We also enjoyed building with lincoln logs, playing at the sand table and making pretend pumpkins with play dough. We enjoyed talking
about the season of Fall and even made a fall tree
to talk about the
many different colors we see this time of
year. They are beautiful and
will be coming home soon!
This week we talked a little bit about Fire Safety as well. We talked about some of the things we can do if we are ever caught in an emergency too.
On Monday we will be
welcoming two new students to our class, Leo and Mallory. We are so excited to meet our new friends!
Have a nice weekend!
See you Monday!
