The days seem to be passing awfully fast. It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
This week we focused on the Letter B. Most children know this letter but do confuse the lowercase b with the lowercase d. We added "I" and "the" to our sight word list. One of our activities was a writing task whereby each child wrote and read his/her own sentences. The sentences began with "I am" and ended with a word about themselves. These types of activities will be shared in their writing journals in class. We also talked about bears and how they live throughout the seasons. Ask them what happens during the fall, winter, spring and summer in the life of a bear.
In math, we are exploring 2D shapes....circle, square, triangle, rectangle and hexagon. We continue to compare and contrast their attributes. What makes them the same or different? We used playdough to create the different shapes making sure that they had the correct number of straight sides, points etc. We also used geoboards to create the same shapes with rubber bands.
Place value and understanding the tens and ones columns in 2 digit numbers is ongoing daily along with counting and identifying numbers. We rolled dice this week and colored in pumpkins that represented the number on the dice.
