Dinosaurs (Week 1)

This week our theme was ‘Dinosaurs’.  The children made dinosaur masks and a big dinosaur out of paper plates which they then painted with watercolors.  We also made our Valentine’s Day cardholders and focused on the letter Dd & numbers 7 and 8.

 Next week our theme will continue to be ‘Dinosaurs’.  On Wednesday and Thursday we will enjoy our field trip to the Broadway Theater to see Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs!  We will also make a classroom book about dinosaurs and create dinosaur skeletons.  During our center time we will practice fine motor skills, number recognition and shapes.  We will review the numbers 9 & 10 and our letter for the week will be Oo.

Games & Sportsmanship

This week our theme was ‘Games & Sportsmanship’.  The focus of our week was on taking turns, sharing, participating and being a good sport.  Many of our games incorporated academic skills such as counting, colors, shapes, matching, etc…  To finish our week the second grade classes came in to play games with us!  Our letter for the week was Gg and we reviewed the numbers 5 & 6.

Next week our theme will be ‘Dinosaurs’.  We will be making dinosaur masks and dotted dinosaurs.  The children will also watercolor dinosaurs made out of paper plates and participate in centers to learn about sorting, graphing and patterning.
