Today is Sophia's birthday but we had to postpone her celebration with the class until tomorrow because she was sick. We still made her birthday cards and many of the children made Get Well cards for her at center time! I am not sure if we'll have time for Second Step tomorrow as we want to do Sophia's poster and write sentences about her and have birthday treats!
We had a wonderful informational book about how beavers build their homes. We talked about their teeth, their tail and their webbed feet. It even had a glossary in the back with new word definitions and a search and find game that we hope we'll have time to play toward the end of the week. It's amazing to see how the game lends itself to good study skills later in their school years.
We are having fun making up Math stories, but the children are having trouble switching from adding to subtracting story problems. So challenge your child to tell you a story that turns into a subtraction problem like: At the store I saw 7 lollipops. Emma bought 3 of them so there were only 4 left! 7 take away 3 is 4 or 7 - 3 = 4
Tomorrow is library but we have all of our books turned in !!!!
Way to go boys and girls and parents!
Have a nice evening!
Sincerely,
Carol Clapper
