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!
