November Projects

Throughout the month of November we learned about leaves, and turkeys! Here are a few of our projects we completed last month.
  We used sight words we were learning to create sentences with our sponge painted trees!

  We learned about the plus and equal sign. We used turkeys and feathers to make a fun number sentence.

 Our letter of the week was T. We made turkeys!

We also learned about the first Thanksgiving. Here we are eating our very own feast filled with chicken nuggets, tater tots, macaroni and cheese, and bread! Thank you to all of the families who contributed to our feast. It was a success!!

READ- A - THON

The Read-a- thon is still going on! We have just kick started week 3. Book in a bags went home last night for the first time which are perfect books for your child to read for the read-a-thon. Be sure to log your minutes on the computer or the reading logs that have gone home.

If you are logging on the paper form, please make sure it is returned to school by the day the form says. If not, your child will not receive their keychain!

Happy Reading!!

P is for...

 

Learning about letter P was so much fun! We came  up with 62 different words that begin with P, read a new Pete the Cat story with lots of P words, and enjoyed Pirate Booty Popcorn while drawing PICTURES with PURPLE, PINK, PEACH and PENCILS! We are officially P experts!

Field Trips

Two field trips in two weeks?? We are so lucky! We enjoyed the Eric Carle show at the Palace Theater last week. Eric Carle is our latest unit of study in reading and writing. We got to watch four Eric Carle performances.

Yesterday we boarded a very special purple bus that drove us to the Ferguson Library. We got a tour of the library, read books, sang and danced!

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to Sebastian who turned 5 on Saturday!!

Sight Word Practice

We LOVE to practice our sight words with sand writing. We also got to use dry erase markers to come up and find a word and circle it. We have also used play-doh and colorful rice.
