In Language Arts, we added the word 'to' to our word wall. With quite a few sight words on the word wall, we can play many fun games to practice them. Some of our favorites are Blast off! (the children crouch down and jump up as they read the flashcard) and Memory.
We read the book What Do Wheels Do All Day? a few times during the week. We discussed many words that describe what wheels do- push, pull, tow, pedal, work, etc.There was a lot of new and fun vocabulary for the children like roller blades and skateboard.
In Social Studies, we will be learning about symbols of Egypt. We started by talking about how each country has its own flag and we colored our own Egyptian flag. The children also pointed out similarities and differences between the flag of the United States and the flag of Egypt. They both have stripes but the flag of the United States has stars and the flag of Egypt has an eagle in the middle.
In Art, we experimented with color mixing. We started with a rainbow with only three colors and, after mixing colors, finished with beautiful rainbows of many colors.

We had our second Show and Tell this week and the children shared their favorite stuffed animal and toys. They always look forward to bringing their things in to show their friends!
In Math, we worked on numbers 5-10 and practiced the concept of 'more than'. We are learning through games and activities. We played Pass the Potato- we sit in a circle and sing One Potato, Two Potato and every tenth person is out until there is one child left. We also paired up and practiced writing numbers on each other's backs. One child wrote a number and the other tried to guess the number.
In Science, we recorded the growth of our beans by drawing what they looked like in the bags. On Thursday, we planted beans in soil and we will compare the growth to the beans in the bags. We also reviewed our chapter on animals and plants with reading and songs.
I have sent out multiple 'Family of the Month' notices this week. We are going through tissues very quickly with all the runny noses! To prevent any illness, we have been washing our hands several times a day, especially before eating. We also wipe down our tables and chairs several times a day. Thank you Parents for helping keep our classroom germ-free!
Sunday is Picture Day. Please ensure your child is in the school uniform (no P.E. clothes). 100% attendance is ideal!
Have a great weekend,
Ms.Victoria
