Week of November 10

​We had a very busy week, learning new things and growing in God’s love!  Please visit Class Dojo and our class website to see some pictures of what we did.
FANTASTIC FOURS
  • Religion – God made water.  Even though we would rather play outside on rainy days, we need to thank God for the gift of water.  We can thank God for water by not wasting it and keeping it clean.
  • Literacy – We have completed the letters through I.  We were able to identify the letter Ii with stickers and rainbow write.  We played games to practice the sound that Ii makes.  We played Teachers vs. Kids and sang “The Letters on the Bus” to review the alphabet and letter sounds.  We also practiced our Thanksgiving songs and finger plays.
  • Math – We practiced our counting by helping Old McDonald count the animals on his farm.  We also reviewed positional words.
  • Social Studies – We learned about farms and what farmers do.  Our class has adopted a calf and we will be following its progress as it grows on its farm.
 
TERRIFIC THREES
  • Religion – We can care.  We share God’s love when we take care of the gifts God has given us.  God has given us people who care for us and that we care for.  God has also given us wonderful bodies.  We care for our bodies when we take care of them.
  • Literacy – We read Going on a Leaf Hunt  and other stories about farms.  In our Smart Books, we created a map of our farm.  We also practiced our  Thanksgiving songs and finger plays.
  • Math -- We learned about the color brown.  We made brown sticker collages in our Smart Books, reviewed shapes and helped Old McDonald count the animals on his farm.
Flash Card Friday – Musical Chairs
Tape several cards to the floor in a circle.  Play music and have your child walk/dance around the circle.  When the music stops, hop onto the closest card and shout the name of the shape, color, letter or number.

  • There is also important school information in the Shamrock Newsletter that is sent out each week.
