We started out with orange playdough and made long,thin strips to make the letter "m".
We also divided our playdough into 4 pieces, then 5 and did some math! We will be working on writing 4's and 5's. the rhyme for four is "Down and over, down some more makes the number 4! Five doesn't really have a rhyme but we try to make a line down and a big fat tummy and then a hat on top so the numeral 5 doesn't look too much like the letter 's'.
We talked about Columbus Day and had a story of the 3 ships he used to get over to the Bahama Islands south of our country. We also talked about how he was an explorer and had to be mighty and strong and brave. We did a number dot to dot for Math that made his largest ship. On the back is an alphabet dot to dot that is a little tricky. So we sang the ABC's a few times and I did it with the picture projected up for them to watch. If they want to bring it back to school completed and colored nicely, they can earn a sticker!
We had fun discovering where our tongue went when we made the 't' sound and came up with lots of 't' words. I forgot to remind the Tuesday show-and tell students to bring one thing that starts with 't' so please help Eli, Abe, Austin, Maddy and Treyden remember!
I sent home rings, bracelets, those rubber band shapes, and money today. As children show other children, or play with jewelry, fancy scarves, etc. it distracts the other children and interrupts learning. Please help them only wear or bring items that they can ignore while we are working hard at school. Thanks for your help and also for the treats that are coming in! Today we had awesome apple slices and the children shared so nicely, we have more for tomorrow!
Last but not least I promised them I would remind you of the
Meadowlark PTA - Ice Cream Social !
It's tomorrow night from 6:00 to 7:00 .
See you then! Mrs. Clapper
