December 20th, 2012- Holidays Around the World

Highlights from the Week:

  • Special Theme of the Week: Holidays Around the World
  • Heart Word of the Week: are
  • In language arts, we learned about inferences.  We learned that inferences are when you use your brain and clues from a book to come up with an idea.
  • In math, we have been practicing using positional words.  For our December calendar, we are describing where a bear is in relation to a box.  We are also building knowledge that teen numbers consist of a group of ten and a few left over.
  • During our social studies time, we have been traveling to other countries.  We take a pretend flight to the country and before they could enter the country, they had to have their passport stamped.  While in the country, we read a story, learned about a symbol and a traditional food of that country.  On our flight back to the United States, we fill out some information in our passport about the country.  We then sample some of their traditional food.  
  • During our community centers, we finished up our gingerbread house and cleaned up some of our old centers.
