| The Very Hungry Caterpillar sequencing game |
It was wonderful to see and speak to so many of you at last night's open house! Thank you for coming in!
In science we continue to learn about the life cycle of the butterfly. They are all currently in chrysalis form. We hope to release them for their flight to Mexico before the cold weather sets in! We have learned so much about the caterpillar life cycle!
We started our Go2Science mission about Cetaceans this week. We are in search of evidence for our hypothesis: there are at least five different species of cetaceans still in the waters off the Baja California peninsula. If you don't know about Go2Science yet, you are soon going to know a lot about it!!! Fun!
Books: Cont. re-reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, enjoying LOTS of other Eric Carle books, Gotta Go! Gotta Go! (a book about a little caterpillar and her journey), and some fun ABC books. We are also using our book boxes daily and developing good reading skills.
We started the structured portion of our writing program this week. Creating sentences verbally about a favorite animal, drawing pictures about that animal, and talking more about it with our friends. Building oral language and making it stronger and stronger will lead us to becoming amazing writers!
In math we are getting to know numbers 0-5, wondering and noticing visual similarities and differences, sorting, discussing a graph, using math manipulatives, using 5 frames, practicing with quick looks at collections of dots, finger counting, working with shapes and continuing our calendar routines.
We are still learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)
Upcoming Dates:
