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!

Last week of pumpkins unit

This week we learned about the letter Rr and are now officially half way through the alphabet! We also continued working on teen numbers and 2D and 3D shapes.

 

 

We also talked about what animals do in the fall when the weather gets cooler (hibernate, migrate, adapt) by making a bear cave...

 

and "flying" South to get food (goldfish crackers).

 

We had a great time being a part of the fall parade.

 

 

Plus we all looked amazing in our costumes!

 

 

We made our friends into mummies.

 

 

 

We played a ping pong ball toss game.

 

 

We made candy corn pudding.

 

 

We got to decorate picture frames with our fall pictures in them.

 

 

We even got to pick out pumpkins and decorate them!!

 

We had such a fun week. Enjoy your weekend!
