I hope that everyone had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving break! It was a chilly and snowy Monday at school. This morning we practiced writing uppercase O and Q and then welcomed in 3 Mystery Readers! After that it was time for Literacy Stations. We read our (silly) poem of the week:
Animal Crackers
Today I ate a lion,
and then a tall giraffe,
but when I ate an elephant
it really made me laugh.
Now if you think it is funny,
that I ate such a meal,
they are animal crackers that I ate,
and none of them were real.
and introduced some new stations: matching rhyming words for ABC station, drawing a picture that matches a letter of the alphabet to create our own Alphabet Chart for word work and a new games station today it was a game where students used a fishing pole to go "fishing" for letters of the alphabet!
During Math we practiced counting on with coloring in 6 beans and discussing how many more there are and also students played two new math games during stations. One of my personal favorites is bump. Students play "Bump" with a partner. Each child takes 10 unifix cubes of one color. His/her partner should have a different color. The first child rolls 2 dice and puts a cube on that number. If another player’s marker is on that number BUMP it off. If your marker is on that number, link the cubes together and it freezes that spot. The winner is the player that uses all of his/her markers first!
