Busy Day!

We made stockings today by lacing to pieces of paper together and then decorated them with oil pastels.  The lacing was difficult at first but they all figured it out. 

In math, we used the walking line to talk about addition and subtraction and number sense.  Then we played a math game called Go Forward, Back Up with partners. 

Toys for Tots

We had a special visitor from the marines today, Sgt. Sanchez.  He came to talk to us about Toys for Tots.  We will be collecting new unwrapped toys  for the next two weeks.  Please help us make a child less fortunate than us have a special Christmas . 

We are Thankful

Today we talked about what we are thankful for. Some of the responses were family, friends, God, Jesus, food, water, oxygen, trees, flowers, and of course, toys!

We made turkey hats this afternoon. Here is a picture of nine silly turkeys! Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble Gobble!

In math we played the train game with unifix cubes and different dice. We played once adding cubes, then taking away cubes and the last time we had to add cubes and take away depending on the color of the number. This game is on everydaymathonline.com as well.

Indian Symbols

We read The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush by Tomie DePaola and then we pretended we had a buckskin that we decorated with indian symbols like the boy from the story. 

Dewberry Farms

We had a great time at the farm yesterday.  Thanks to all of the parents who joined us. 

Numbers to 20

Today in math we were practicing sequencing numbers to twenty.  We did an activity on the smart board first putting the numbers in order and then we each did our own with cards from zero to twenty. 

Measurement with Objects

Today we measured with objects.  We found things that were shorter, longer and the same and then we finished up with some measurement games.
