Beautiful Babies - Look How We've Changed!

Posted: February 5, 2013

In our You & Your World curriculum we have been talking about ourselves as individuals. This week we focused on ways that we have changed. We had a little "Guess Who?" game in the classroom with baby pictures. It was amazing how many the children knew on the first guess. We had lots of fun...

Math

We are still working on numbers to 5. We are now working on counting forward and backwards as well as starting at different numbers. For instance start counting at 3 and count to 5 or start at 4 and count backwards to 0. Another skill that we have been working hard at is telling the number that comes "before" or "after" a given number. To make practice fun you can use a die and roll a number then tell the number that comes before or after. It is also great number practice to each roll a die and decide who have the larger number. Here is a website to practice numbers to 5. http://www.wmnet.org.uk/resources/gordon/Count%20&%20Order.swf

Sight Words

We have been working hard on learning lots of new words. This will help us read lots and lots of great books. Keep practicing these words at home so you can read and spell them in a "snap"!! Make learning fun by playing concentration, BLAST, bingo and any other games you can adapt to work with our sight words. Here is an updated list of the words we have learned: am, a, at, and, are, an, big, be, come, Dad, go, here, he, is, I, in, little, look, Mom, my, me, on, she, see, said, the, to, up, we This week we will be working on the words: like, for, you

This is a song that we played in class. The kids loved it! They did an excellent job acting it out. Sing along with the song and then talk about numbers to 5. What number comes before or after another number.

New Sight Words

Last week we learned lots of sight words! We worked with he, me, we, be, she, look, at. The kids enjoyed some videos for the words look and at. Follow the links below:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MG5pZ0F3Jshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v... you can spell "at" what other words can you spell? Now if you can spell "look" what other words? Try changing the first letter in look and see what you can spell.

Welcome Back

It was great to get back last week and see each other again! The children settled right back into our routines. I was so impressed that they picked right up where we left off! We finished up with our alphabet by focusing on the letter Qq and Zz. This week we will be doing some letter activities to finish up and work on alphabetical order as well as upper and lowercase. We learned a new sight word "go" and also looked at it with some endings "goes" and "going". In math we continued on with our numbers to 5 unit. We practiced forming the number five and did a few activities with 5 kittens (working on different combinations of 5, such as 2 in the box and 3 out of the box makes 5). Keep practicing your numbers, letters and sight words at home!
