Good Food

We are now finished with our unit on Nutrition and Good Food!  We just read the story “Good Food” a story that teaches us how to go to the store and get food.  Once the food is purchased we can take it home and make a good dinner.  Dad and mom and even the kids help make a great meal to eat and share.  We painted with fruit and we made funny faces with our fruit and foods!  It was yummy and we learned all about how to go to the store.  We watched a funny video which talked about food combinations and how to combine different foods.  In the end all the foods made something that was “yucky”.  The link is attached:

Next week we will begin a new math unit on patterns!  We will learn how to pattern by color and by object.  Our goal is to use an A,B A,B pattern.  So for colors we would do, orange, yellow, orange, yellow as a pattern.  Please work with your child at home on a pattern.  It could be at dinner setting the table or using socks of various colors or anything you can find to pattern such as toys or transportation vehicles and other objects too.  Please continue to work on these types of activities at home with your child to help discuss colors and patterns in your environment.

Brrrrr…. IT’S COLD OUTSIDE!!!   Please remember with the weather getting colder we go outside nearly every day.  According to FISD we will be outside, weather permitting when it is 32 degrees.  Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately and in layers they can take off and put on themselves with minimal assistance independently.  Also, please keep all belongings LABELED so they do not get lost at school.

Following rules and learning about Nutrition

We are working hard and getting back into our learning mode.  We have added several new friends to each of our classes and we are all learning together.  This week we read “Growing Vegetable Soup” a story that teaches how vegetables grow in the garden.  We painted with vegetables and we made vegetable soup!  It was yummy and we learned all about how to plant our food.  We watched a funny video which talked about food combinations and how to combine different foods.  In the end all the foods made something that was “yucky”.  The link is attached:

It's Winter!

It snowed today!!!  It has been a great first week back at school!  We have been discussing snow and reading several books about snow.  This week we read “Snowman, Snowman” a story that teaches repetition in learning.  We learned about all the things a snowman would see walking outside and they all start with the letter S.  Sled, Skis, Scarf, Snow, and Snowflake.  We made snow this week with equal parts cornstarch and shaving cream!  It was super fun to play in the “snow”

In our math unit we finished our shapes and sorting unit.  We learned to use word descriptors and describe shapes by color, size or edges.  We also talked about how we sort them by size.  Please continue to work on these types of activities at home with your child to help discuss colors and shapes you see in your environment.

It's Snowing

It snowed today!!!  It has been a great first week back at school!  We have been discussing snow and reading several books about snow.  Our favorite is the Snowy Day and A Cold and Snowy day.  We have talked about how many different types of clothes we need to wear.  Hat, scarf, gloves/mittens and of course a coat to keep warm!  We are also introducing our color of white this month.  That means your child should know the colors RED, ORANGE, BROWN, GREEN and now WHITE.  So impressive they are learning new things daily!

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays!  Hope everyone enjoys the next two weeks off.  We finished learning about the color green for the month of December and will start off with the color white when we return in January. 

In our math unit we completed our math unit on Graphing, including matching and sorting Gingerbread pieces to a Gingerbread Man and sorting the colors red and green!  There are so many items that are red and green this time of year.  You can emphasize things that are green and red at your house and help your child sort, match and graph what you find at home!

Our party was a big success!  All the kids loved eating ice cream and making a snowman! Please remember that if you attend a party next time, you will need your child’s car tag to take them from the building.
