Highlights from the week:
- Special Theme of the Week: Pumpkins
- Heart Word of the Week: like
- In language arts, we practiced making predictions. We also talked about the beginning, middle, and end of a book. In addition, we have been working on identifying the beginning sound of a word.
- In writing, we wrote a nonfiction story about the life cycle of a pumpkin.
- In math, we were introduced to patterns and naming those patterns. In addition, we worked on counting, instant recognition of quantities to 5, and matching a set of objects to the number.
- In science, we have done a variety of activities. We explored the inside and outside of a pumpkin using our senses. We used each of our senses and then came up with words to describe what we were noticing. We even baked our pumpkins in a crock pot and tasted it! This week, we also started an experiment where we have put dirt inside a pumpkin that still has seeds and pulp. We are going to see if we can get the seeds to grow.
- During community centers, we continued with our harvest center. We are getting really good at sorting our produce, giving it a price, and "selling" it to others.
- We had a great field trip to Jollay Orchards. It was a great way for us to end our unit on pumpkins!
