Highlights from the Week:
- Special Theme of the Week: Gingerbread
- Heart Word of the Week: is
- In language arts we are working on story structure and characters. We are also working on rhyming and figuring out the beginning and ending sounds of words.
- In writing, we created a gingerbread man story about where he was hiding. We worked on using preposition words and descriptive words. To publish our story, we glued it onto a piece of construction paper, added arms, legs, and a head to make it look like a gingerbread man.
- In math, we were introduced to a growing pattern. With this, we worked on the skills of adding one more, observing/describing likenesses and differences, and counting by 1's and 2's.
- During our theme time, we continued to compare different versions of the gingerbread man. They are starting to become more and more different than the traditional story.
- During community centers, we are continuing with many gingerbread themed centers. At our construction zone, we continued with the construction of our gingerbread house. This week we worked on painting it. At the math center, we have been enjoying measuring how many gingerbread men long things are. We also started learning a little about area by measuring how many objects can fit inside of a gingerbread man.
