What a fun day! Thank you to everyone who volunteered and/or donated items to make today so much fun! Through our learning experience today, we were able to:
-refine our fine motor skills and create paper candy corns
-learn about the life cycle sequence of pumpkins and create flip books
-practice our one-to-one correspondence and play candy corn math games
-practice our positional words and emergent reading skills and create a spider book using our fingerprints
-enjoy listening to the book, "Go Away, Monster" by Robert Embry and created our own 'cupcake monsters'!
What are we learning this week?
In reading this week, our focus is on making connections as we read. That is when what you are reading about, reminds you of something you have done and/or read about. In class, we have practiced this by saying, "That reminds me of..."
Our letters of the week are "Pp" and "Jj". Our sight word this week is "my". This will be added to our other sight words including, "I", "me", "see", "a", "are", "the", "this", and "is". You can reinforce these concepts by having a contest with your child to see how many sight words/letters they can identify at home.
In math, we are focusing on the concept of one more and one less. For example, "We have 2 cubes. How can we make 3? That's right, we can add one more." You can reinforce this at home using Halloween candy and say, "I have 3 pieces of candy, but I want 4. How many more pieces of candy do I need to get 4?"
Thank you again for all of your help this week with Pumpkin Day. Be on the lookout for NEW homework in your child's Friday folder.
