Rainbow Fish

Today we talked more about feelings and sharing by reading the story The Rainbow Fish. Then the children glued tissue paper on a fish to make scales and water colored its fins and tail blue.

Feelings

Yesterday Ms. Emily started our unit on Feelings by reading the story Lots of Feelings. While reading the story the children practiced making certain feeling faces.

 

Next the children graphed how they felt today and as a class they analyzed the data.

 

 

 

The children also started their letter book this week. Here is a picture of their first page:

Weekly Jobs

Our first week of jobs was a success!!!

Jobs is where the children rotate to four tables through out the week. Each table has a different educational activity for them to complete. This is a great time for the children to participate in small  group and individual work. It's also great for assessment purposes.

Here is what the children did at jobs this week:

Sorting Colors

 



Sorting letters and numbers

 



Sorting Shapes

 



 

My Special Name- The children had to find the letters in their name, put them in order, and trace their name.

 



Alphabet Surprise- The children pulled a letter out the bag, found it on their page, and colored it.

Weekly Wrap Up

Yesterday the children did a great job following directions and using our scissor skills to make self portraits.

 

Today we reviewed everything we have discussed this week. Then we talked about how our names all begins with a letter. Everyone shared what letter their name begins with and then we decorated that letter.

Our First Gift

This week we have been talking all about OURSELVES.

 

On Tuesday we talked about the first gift that our parents gave us...our name. Then the children practiced putting their names in order and writing them to make a "present".

 

 

Yesterday we discussed how our families are unique. Then we had to listen directions to complete a house glyph.

 

 



Self Portraits

Yesterday we discussed how each one of us is special and unique. Then we made a self portrait and made a huge tree.

 



First Week of School

Here is a peek at the fun things that we did last week:

 

We started our staggered day by reading the "The Kissing Hand". The children then painted the most adorable Chester Raccoon. I really LOVE this craft!

 

On Thursday we discussed how we felt on the first day of school and wrote it on a huge hand.

 

Friday we talked about how we can "fill our buckets" by reading the book "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?". Then we sorted how to be a bucket filler and a bucker dipper.
