Snowmen & Snow

This week our theme was “Snowmen & Snow”.  The children made snowmen & snowflakes.  We worked together with a partner to create a page for our classroom book called We Made A Snowman!  We also worked on patterning, counting, 1:1 correspondence (touching & counting each object) and numerical order.  Our letter for the week was Ss and we learned about the number 7.

Next week our theme will be “Games & Sportsmanship”.  The focus of our week will be on taking turns, sharing, staying focused/involved and being a good sport.  It would be a great idea to play games at home with your child and practice these skills as well.  Many of our games also incorporate academic skills such as counting, colors, shapes, matching, etc… To finish our week the second grade classes will come in to play games with us!  Our letter for the week will be Gg and we and we will learn about the number 8.

Reminders & Updates:

*FBI Ice Skating Event: Friday, January 15th @ the Simek Center for those that have signed up.

*No School: Friday, Jan 22nd (Inservice).

Winter Clothes

This week our theme was “Winter Clothing”.  We used our own winter clothing to work on sorting, matching, classifying, graphing, colors and counting!  We played a variety of games to help us work on these skills as well.  Our letter for the week was Ww and our number was 6.

Next week our theme will be “Snowmen & Snow”.  The children will be making snowmen & snowflakes.  We will work together with a partner to create a page for our next classroom book called We Made A Snowman!  We will also work on patterning, matching, counting, 1:1 correspondence (touching & counting each object) and numerical order.  We will learn about the number 7 and our letter for the week will be Ss.
