This week our explorations have
taken us many different places, and we have covered many concepts, from
reviewing the letters and sounds, to patterning and counting, to rhyming! It
has been a busy week, and we have been missing Rania, who has been quite
ill. We are hoping to have her back in
our classroom soon!
Our explorations and activities included…
*Experimenting with colored sand
and glue
*Testing various objects to see
if they sink or float
*Investigating insects
*Rhyming games
*Counting and cooperation games
*Math provocations with dominos
and objects (the students were counting, patterning, adding, using spatial
awareness, number recognition, one-to one correspondence, subitising, all from
simple manipulatives.)
*We have been playing a lot of
games with our letters and sounds, and sounding out stories and sentences
together. We have also discovered quite a few sight words that we already know
and use a lot!
*Several students continue to be
very interested in animals or airplanes, so we will continue to pursue these…
