Morning Tubs: This week in morning tubs we used the book Bear Counts as a learning invitation to use our counting bears and popsicle sticks, created letters using Halloween erasers, poetry, spider exploration, community helpers, number puzzles, counting pumpkins and abc puzzles.
Writing: This week we were introduced to speech bubbles! We explored speech bubbles through the book Pigeon Wants to Stay Up Late (these books are always a big hit)! These are the things they are trying in writing: adding to pictures with labels, words, sentences and/or speech bubbles. In small groups we wrote "I like ______" sentences that will be going up in the hallway (stay tuned next week for the finished product pictures).
Reading: This week we focused on tracking words with our fingers/eyes, matching pictures to words and practiced sequencing with our read alouds.
STEAM: Communities and Career week was SO FUN!!! THANK YOU to all who came in and shared with our kinders. They truly enjoyed exploring all different occupations. It was fun to see them being so hands on and invested in exploring. Seeing them now pretend in play to learn time is the best.
Tips for Home: See if your kinder can identify a small word in a story to match a picture (dog, cat, specific character, etc.)
Coming Up: Next week Burlington Coat Factory will be coming to join us at 1:00 for our play-to-learn (free choice) time. They are excited to see how we're using our grant items and want to formally present us with a certificate.
Classroom Items We'd Love to Add: Quick Stix to our easel! These allow for mess free, quick and fun painting! They have lots of different options, but here's a sample of what they are: Link: http://a.co/d/5TxSsvj
