WRITING
|
We have been busy learning about our name and face. Each student showed excitement about their
name by recognizing, creating or writing their letters. Ask them about Mat Man if you get a
chance. My handwriting curriculum comes
from a program called Handwriting Without Tears and the first thing we do is
meet Mat Man. Using song, circles and
lines, Mat Man is a simple way to draw our face, entire stick figure, and create
all uppercase and lowercase alphabet letters…
They just don’t know it yet!
|
This month we will study letters A – D,
uppercase/lowercase/tracing/writing/sounds.
|
MATH
|
We will focus on a color and shape for two weeks at a time. During this time we will create poems,
songs, art, and games involving our color & shape.
|
We studied red circles the first two weeks and are moving on to blue
squares, then brown triangles for this month.
|
Size will be incorporated into each set of shapes as well. Big, medium and small were the vocabulary
we used on our red circles as well as blue squares.
We will read The Three Bears to talk about family and size and the
lovely number 3. “My number” as it is
well known.
|
LEARNING CENTERS
|
We have opened 6 learning centers so far. Ask them which is their favorite puzzles, art, home, blocks, library, or
math?
|
THEMES
|
We started off our school year with My Name & My Face. Next we move onto My Family & My
Feelings. We end this month with
Apples. We will cook up play-dough from scratch, predict, graph & taste
apples, build houses out of shapes, and continue Mat Man to make ourselves
and our families. Get ready for refrigerator
art!
