Community Helper Wrap Up

Here are pictures of our fun Thursday. We made chef hats out of paper bags and then decorated cupcakes!

Community Helpers

We have had a fun and busy two days learning about Community Helpers. Yesterday we added a C to out focus wall with some objects that begin with C.

Then we listened to the C song, HERE! We also learned a new sight word, AND, and listened to its song, HERE!

We started our unit on Community Helpers by discussing who they are and how they help us. Then we completed our Religion workbook page. 

Then we playrd a Community Helper memory game on the Smart Board.

The children started their rotation through jobs. Here is a peek at them:

Trash Pick Up- Here the children pick a piece of trash, open it up, say the shape, and practice writing it.

Mail Pick Up- Here the children pick mail, take out the number, and practiced writing it.

Bone Matching- here the children matched upper and lower case letters.

Stamp a Sight Word- Here the children had to use the key to color sight words.

C sheet

The children also started their roation through prayer center.

 Today we talked about fireman. We read a story about fireman, and completed a chart on what a fireman does and what he needs to do his job. Then we made some adorable fireman.

Camp Week Wrap Up

We have had a fun and busy week talking about camping and some animals that we may see. Here are some pictures from the week.

Here is a picture of our sleeping bag craft:

 Then we hung them up with Mrs. Roxanne's class craft to create a big mural.

 

 I LOVE all 44 fireflies that create an amazing mural!

 Yesterday we learned some fun facts about owls. Then we used newspaper and made this adorable craft.

 We had a BLAST at our camp out today. We turned off the lights, sat on our sleeping bag under the "stars" and ate marshmallows.

Here's a picture of our mummy door! We are ready for October.

I forgot to take pictures of our jobs for the week but the children 

1. Made a shunk

2. Counted fish and wrote numbers

3. Completed our Y sheet

4. Picked letters and found the number on their tent

5. Rolled a die, counted the dots, and colored that number on their camper

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Next week we will learn about different types of Community Helpers. 

Fun Day

We had a fun craft day in 4K. 

We started our day by making Y hats.

 Then we watched a video about fireflies and learn a few fun facts. Then we made these adorable fireflies. They came out too cute!

A Camping We Will Go

Today I introduced the letter Y to the children and we added it to our Focus Wall. We also listened to the Y song, HERE and the sight word song, HERE.

 We started off our unit on camping by helping our two friends come up with a list of all the items that they need to go camping.

 For prayer center the children are learning about St. Francis, learning his prayer, and making a puppet.

 I changed up our writing center today in hope to encourage the children to write and not just draw! We now have a spot to put our sight words, letter of the week, number of the week, days of the week, number words, color words, and months of the year.

Assessment Week

Yesterday Mrs. Schmitz came and completed a guidance lesson with the children about the Zones of Regulations. Your child came home with a sheet of paper explaining this program to you. Please read it as this is a school wide program. She began her lesson by talking to the students about different feeling. Then she explained the zones and how we feel in each zone. She told the children how we always want to be in the green zone (happy, good listener, ready to learn, calm, okay, focused) while at school.She then explained the rest of the zones and gave each child a chance to pick a card and figure out what zone it goes in.

This week is a little different for us as we don't have a theme or letter of the week but we are focusing on assessments. Today we focused on coloring, cutting, and following directions by making two birds sitting in a nest that is on a branch. 

At Prayer center this week the children are learning about the Holy Spirit and making this adorable paper plate dove. 

Today I introduced our new sight word, THE, and we listened to it' song (HERE) and thought of sentences using the.

Tomorrow we will focus on counting and writing letters.

Doctor and Dentist

Yesterday we discussed going to the doctor. First we read the book, Doctor Ted.

 Then we talked about why we go to the doctor and what type of tools that they use. 

Next we made a doctor's bag and glues some of those tools inside of it.

Today we learned about the dentist. First we brainstormed what we use our teeth for on our chart.

Then we read the story Show Me Your Smile and read about Dora going to the dentist.

 After, we charted how we keep our teeth healthy.

 Finally we brainstormed foods that are bad for our teeth.

Today I introduced the children to our SPECIAL chair. 

If the children get their clip on pink or it's their birthday, they will get to sit in the special chair for the day! It was a big hit, specially since a friend got to sit in it today!

We had a fun day!
