Our reading focus this week was "compare and contrast." A great
book for this is, Miss Nelson is Missing! We read the story and
talked about Miss Nelson and Miss Viola Swamp and how they
were different and then discussed how they were similar. The best
way to discuss similarities and differences is using a Venn
Diagram.
To review sequence we read an adorable story called, Apple
Trouble. This story is about a hedgehog who made his nest for
winter the perfect size, not too small and not too big, just right!
When he's finished with his nest an apple falls on him and gets
stuck, this makes it so he can't fit in his nest! Through the story his
friends try to help him but instead more things keep getting stuck
on him! In the end, he meets a friendly goat who eats all the stuff
off his back. It is hilarious! What a funny concept for a story! For
our sequence activity, the children colored, cut, and glued the
pieces on the hedgehog in the order of the story. (I don't know why
some pictures won't rotate!!! Sorry!)
Our math centers this week included: Counting Boxes for
practicing
counting, Shelby's Snack Shack Game for fine motor
strengthening and
counting, Hi-Ho Cherry-o for counting practice,
and a shape game.
Literacy centers included: A beginning sounds worksheet where the
children wrote the beginning sound of the picture and then colored
in the pictures, silent reading, a community helpers book, felt
pieces for matching beginning sound pictures, letters and words,
number writing, and alphabet matching.
She will be helping out for a few hours each morning! She is great!
