All About Teeth

We had a day filled with facts about teeth! Mr. Super Tooth came to visit Roxbury to explain how important it is to brush and floss your teeth.

In math, we made a graph to see how many students have lost a tooth, and how many have not.

We read stories about teeth such as Arthur's Tooth and Franklin and the Tooth Fairy.

At the end of the day we wrote about what we would do if we were the Tooth Fairy!

Homework: Phonics page, math page and book-in-a-bag

The Grouchy Ladybug

Our first Eric Carle project; My tots as grouchy ladybugs! I had them make their meanest face, check them out!!

We also learned about speech bubbles. Inside the bubble is a personal connection to when they felt grouchy like the character in the story. Many of my friends said, "never" and I said mom and dad may think differently!! :)

Eric Carle

We began our unit on Eric Carle! During this unit we will be analyzing characters, discussing repetitive language in stories, and writing our own class book!
 Our first story of the unit was, "Do You Want to be My Friend?" Here are some photos of my tots working with partners to describe the animals in the story.

 Homework tonight: Phonics page with the -op family, math adding page and book-in-a-bag

Be on the look out for the March family project in your child's folders this week and come back tomorrow to check out our Grouchy Ladybugs!!

The Celebrations Continue...

The month of February has been filled with celebrations! On Thursday, we learned about Chinese New Year and made dragon masks.

    The celebrations continued today when we had cupcakes for Krish's 6th birthday!

I am looking forward to our normal routine next week. We learned the digraphs -ch,  -sh,-th, and -wh this week, and practiced vowel sounds.

100th Day!

Happy 100th Day of school!!! Here are some pictures of us by our "100th Day Museum"...

I want to thank you for the hard work that went into the projects. They are awesome! Here are a few more:

We started off our day with 100th day literacy centers. We wrote about what we would do with $100 dollars, what we would look like if we were 100 years old, and something we would LOVE 100 of, and something we would would NOT want 100 of!

 During math, we worked together to finish a puzzle with 100 pieces and used legos to build things with...you guessed it, 100 legos! We were so proud of ourselves when we finished!

   

We also had an assembly today for Black History Month. Mr. Jones came to visit Roxbury and told us about African music and instruments. Our very own Serenity danced in the performance!

Our day ended with a special treat. We had 100 munchkins from the Ylitalo's family! Thank you so much they were delicious!!

Homework tonight: Phonics page, addition page and book-in-a-bag!
