We are really having fun with all the sounds of 'o'! Your child wil not be bringing home a paper about their show and tell this week. Instead we are writing what they bring on different shapes, colors and objects on the front board. Like today, a dog and a sock were written on the octapus. While the orange bouncy ball was put on the brown paper for the "ow" sound of /o/. It could have also gone on the orange, but we each have to choose only one place to write our Show and Tell!
In Math we drew pictures showing empty and full, while yesterday I forgot to mention we estimated the area of different shapes and then used wooden squares to see if our estimate was close. The children really enjoy the hands on Math the best!
Mrs. Duke, Kara's Mom was helping each child make an orange octapus with ovals on their 8 arms. Then they children told her waht their octapus might say and she typed them into the computer. Each child will get to cut apart their sentence, then put it back together and write it on a talking bubble to attach to their octapus!
Dismissal was 100% better than last night. We started earlier and kept calm and collected while we got ready to go. We finished early enough that we got to read a few pages of the book, "Over in the Ocean".
I am going to make this shorter than usual because I want to work on both the Valentine's list and the February calendar.
Maybe you will get that this Thursday instead of the weekly news!
Sincerely, Mrs. Clapper
