Number Corner....
We have switched to a new calendar. We are now in February and we are looking at Dots! Red dots, blue dots...the dots change each day. I wonder if we can figure out the pattern? Each day a team of two kids go to the Number Corner and read us the calendar. We go through the month, year, days of the week, the pattern, the days we have been in school with grasshopper, counting by 10's and also by 1's.
Farmer Duck by Martin Waddell. "There once was a duck who had the bad luck to live with a lazy farmer. While the duck worked, the farmer lay in bed - until one day the other animals decided to take action!"
Shape Spotter by Megan E. Bryant. "Come along with Ms. Carey's class on a scavenger hunt for shapes at school! With rhyming clues and hidden shapes in every picture for kids to spot."
Goldie Locks and the Three Squares by Grace MacCarone. " Visiting the pentagon-shaped house of the three Squares, Goldie Locks is amazed by the cottage's geometrically shaped furniture and remembers an important mathematical fact just in time to escape when the Squares come home."
Math.....
Building with pattern blocks.
Shape recognition with pattern blocks.
Finding shapes in our classroom....
We found many shapes in our classroom. We found objects that are in the shape of triangles, circles, etc.
Hamburger bun and play dough container are shaped in circles.
A block and mats we sit on are shaped likes squares.
Things that are not shaped like a circle or a square....
HUMAN BODY....Hands
We have been talking about the human body and doing many activities about the human body. Mostly the function and structure of our bodies. Today we had an inside look at the bones.
Syzer "Without bones you would be all squishy and be a blob."
Jared "Bones hold us up."
Why do we have so many bones in our bodies?
Davern "So we can grab things."
Today we did a project putting bones in the correct spots on our paper hands. This shows ALL the kinds of bones that we need to put our hand together.
