This week we continued the investigation stage of our sports study. We added various sports balls to our look closer area for the students to observe. They used magnifying glasses to look closer at the details and then documented what they noticed.
We also continued to work on our black mosaic.
We enjoyed working in our new math and literacy centers. Matching the numbers to the same number of objects.
Comparing weight using a scale.
Matching number word and number to the correct number of dots. Making shapes using geoboards and rubber bands.
Using the number word and counting the dots to figure out which number to write on the cards. Find the pumpkins with the matching number, number word, and number of dots.
Writing sight words on our "cell phones".
"Feeding" letter and sight word fish to the penguin. Matching the pictures to the letter with same beginning sound.
Putting together rhyming puzzles by matching the pictures of the rhyming words.
Putting pictures in sequential order to show what happened first, next, after that, and last in a specific event.
We added words to our word wall and added all new sight words to our easel to focus on. These are the words that we are now focusing on:
We made our list of words that began with the long and short U sounds and made our alphabet card for our word wall.
Can you believe that the school year is already half way over? Since Friday was the last day of second quarter and report cards are coming, we updated our achievement rings. For each achievement they earn, they get a bead for their ring such as identifying upper and lower case letters, being able to rhyme, counting to 100, etc.
We also continued to read stories about sports as a class as well as in our listening and library areas.
We read books about being a good sport, winner and loser. We also read about never quitting or giving up and using persistence when something gets hard.
Each day we have focused on a few different sports and we have talked about some of the rules, equipment, teams, etc that have to do with those particular sports.
We read a football ABC book as well as a color, and opposite book about football.
We made a list of things that we already know about sports as well as things we want to know about sports.
These questions will help guide our investigation and exploration throughout our sports study.
Thanks for stopping by! Other than having Monday off for Martin Luther King Jr. day, we have a normal week.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Brittany Garrabrant
