New Homework

We are trying something with our homework policy.
Inside each of the kid's homework folders (on the "LEFT" at home pocket) there is a calendar stapled to the folder. Each day they do not go to school there is something to do at home. When you complete it just initial and return. Each time a child completes it they get a stick to earn a prize in the treasure box.

I hope everyone likes it!!!

Circle Day!

We had our first circle day this week on Wednesday and Thursday. Everybody did such a great job turning their circle into something. We all balls from tennis, baseball, and basketballs, as well as balloons, eyeballs, icecream, and the list goes on and on. It was so good for the kids to be able to think about things that come in the shape of a circle and not just see the shape.

Group Books

Every couple of weeks we will be having a Group book. This week's book is "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom".
Group books help the kids identify the front and back cover, the title page, an author, and an illustrater. It also helps them learn to turn the pages the correct way and to follow along.

C is for Candyland!

This week we have hit the letter C!
We are having a lot of fun with Candyland :0)

Who took the Candy from the Candy Jar?

This was a really fun game today!
Each child was given a letter necklace, and this was their new "Name". Then we pulled out a piece of candy in the candy jar that has a letter on it.The child who pulled it identifies the letter then we all say,
"Who took the candy from the Candy jar?"
"H (or the letter that was picked) took the candy from the Candy jar"
H: "who Me?"
class: "yes you!"
H: "Couldn't be"
Class: "then who?"
We continue until everyone has had a turn.

Candy Colors

One of our Candyland games this week is "Candy Colors". The kids are devided into groups. I then come up to their group with a color card. I say the color in spanish and then the kids identify what color it is. They then find the lollipop that matches and make a circle around it. Each group continues until they have each had a turn with each color.

YELLOW DAY

Color Days are always a blast! We all dress in the same color and then bring something small and disposable that we can place on our yellow circle. This time for yellow we had a yellow picture that we colored along with yellow playdough!

Sight Words

Our SUPER LEARNERS are working on Sight words now! We have four words we work on each month (this month is pal, big, nap, and dig). Each week we focus on one particular one. We sound out the sounds and learn how to make words.

Apple Star

This past two weeks we have been on our APPLES theme! I just love apples and it is so much fun to incorporate our weekly learning into apple fun.

This was our art project that we placed into our art boxes this past week. Inside every apple is an apple star. They each got to cut their apples in half and make an apple star stamp! Then of course they got to eat the other half :0)
