We made our own cloud! Wow!
Last week’s fog inspired this week’s theme of clouds. We read the story “Little Cloud” by Eric Carle, that shows us how fun using your imagination to search for pictures in the sky can be. Unfortunately, our clouds this past week have not been the best for this…we will try again next week!
There were so many activities about clouds for us to do! We used homemade cotton ball paintbrushes to paint clouds and learned how to estimate the amount of clouds (cotton balls) in a jar. For letter practice we used cotton balls to create the letter C for CLOUD, made a cloud that lifts like a flap book, with the fluffy cotton ball cloud on one side and the word CLOUD written on the inside, as well as created a cloud with the letters of our names dangling on rain drops.
Everyone is getting much more confident when identifying or attempting to identify the sounds they hear in the words they want to write in their journals.
We practiced building squares and rectangles with blocks, counting the blocks to figure out if the sides were equal or not. We have also been working on identifying, writing and representing numbers 1-20 using Base 10 blocks as a way to organize our counting. We are beginning to identify real life patterns that we sometimes don’t normally notice, ie: this week the boy girl pattern was noticed within our line when heading outside.
We are so thankful for all the good weather we have had this winter. It is amazing that we were able to have a picnic lunch this Friday…in February! Everyone helped out to make their own sandwiches and package up all of the fruit and veggies.
With all of this warm weather, we took a particular interest in kicking soccer balls around to each other and running races. We on working on what it means to be a “good sport” whether you win or lose.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend! See you all next week!
