Week 2 of healthy bodies

We had such a busy and fun week!

 

We practiced our skip counting by counting gumballs in our gumball machine reader. 

 

We played "Quiz a friend" where each student got to test a friend on their letter identification.

 

We made gumball machines with 10 gumballs...

 

Then put them in a line to make a skip counting number line.

 

We also had our winter concert on Tuesday night. The children did great!

 

We went on our field trip to Peter Piper Pizza on Wednesday. We got a tour of the restaurant, including the back area where they make the food!

 

We even got to go in the huge walk in refrigerator! They said it felt like it was snowing!

 

After the tour, we got to make our pizzas!

 

And of course we got to eat them!! 

 

To practice our number recognition, we played Number Write the Room.

 

We even got to make snowdrift pie for cooking!

 

Have a great weekend!

Healthy Bodies

 We had a great first week of our Healthy Bodies unit. We have been learning about things we do to stay healthy.

Each child drew a picture of something they do to stay healthy (eating good food, brushing their teeth, etc.) and we made a class book out of their work.

 

To practice reading our sight words, the children put puzzles together. In order to get the pieces in the right spot, they had to put the numbers on the bottom of each piece in order to reveal a mystery sentence. They then wrote the sentence on their paper and drew a picture to go with the sentence.

 

We practiced counting by 10s by filling 10 frames with M&Ms and then counting by 10s to see how many M&Ms there were!

 

We also worked on our reading by cutting out and reading sight word sentences then matching them up to the pictures that went with them.

 

 

We also played sight word I-Spy but finding tiny sight words with magnifying glasses and practiced writing them!

 

Have a great weekend!

Thanksgiving week

 This week was a short and busy week! We talked about turkeys and the parts of a turkey in science. We learned about the letter Yy, the words my and by, and started working on counting all the way to 100 and counting by 10s.

 

We made a "Numbers by 10s" number line with little turkeys. 

 

We talked about how to label and why we label. We then labeled a picture of a turkey.

 

We also got to make a turkey headband!!

 

Have a great long weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving!

Last week of transportation

We had such a fun filled week this week!

 



 It started out with a visit from SubZero Ice Cream.

 

 

They showed us how they use a special chemical to almost instantly freeze cream into ice cream!

 

 

Because we were talking about boats this week, we made paper plate boats...

 

 

Then watercolor painted a background to add our boats to.

 

 

We also practiced for our boat race by blowing cotton balls back and forth across the table while talking about how our breath is a gas that can move things.

 

 

 

Finally the day of our boat race arrived!

 

 

They had so much fun racing their boats! We even made ribbons afterwards!!

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

First week of transportation

This week we started our transportation unit. We reviewed teen numbers by practicing making a number line. We worked on reading our sight words by reading sentences and matching them up to pictures. We also made wooden and paper airplanes then tested which flew better by taking them outside and practicing flying both. Finally, we had a surprise guest... a pilot! He talked to us about the parts of a plane and how he flies one!

Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Poyzer

Transportation week 2

This week we continued talking about forms of transportation by learning about trains and other types of land transportation.  We also learned about the letter Pp, numbers in the 20s, and the word stop.

We got to practice being independent by doing family style dining for snack.  We have special pitchers that allow the children to pour their own drinks and used tongs to serve their own snack.

We practiced writing by doing a jourbal entry about what trains carry. We also practiced our sight words by stamping them.

After talking about stoplights and what the different colors mean, the children made their own stoplights.

We even made air popped popcorn and talked about how the liquid in the corn kernel gets hot and explodes when it turns to a liquid. We then got to try different topping on our popcorn then graphed our favorites!

Have a great weekend!
