In math, we finished our unit all about 2D and 3D shapes. The students had a lot of fun creating 3D shapes with playdough!
We will be looking at deepening our understanding of numbers 1-10 over the next few weeks.
In language arts, we created turkeys after reading books like A Plump and Perky Turkey and The Great Turkey Race. We also read A Turkey for Thanksgiving and then retold the story. We colored the characters, cut them out and put them in the order that they entered the story. We took these home with us today! Ask your child to retell the story to you! We also wrote stories with the sentence stem, "If I were a Thanksgiving turkey..." These cute stories are hanging in the hall next to our turkeys.
In social studies, we read a Scholastic magazine about Veterans Day and a book. We also watched a video that explained the meaning of Veterans Day and why we celebrate it each year. We colored a picture of an army person and wrote a thank you note to veterans.
In science, we finished our magnets unit by taking an assessment that was sent home. We then began our unit on patterns of movement. We have discussed relative position/location words such as above, below, over, under, between, beside, in front of, behind, etc. We will also discuss how things move using vocabulary such as zigzag, straight line, around and around, fast, slow, etc.
The Monkeys were excited to learn about our superstar student, Mason, last week! We were able to learn all about his life and interests.
This week, the Monkeys were happy to begin to learn about our new superstar student, Logan!
Thank you again to all parents for helping your child decorate a turkey feather according to your family's culture and traditions! The turkey looks great!
