Muffins

After a two day training this week we got back in the groove:

 Retelling the Three Little Bears

Mixing letter M muffins with Milk!

Learning to write the letter M

 

Blueberry Mini Muffins

Our Learning continues..

This week we used a Domino Parking Lot for counting and identifying numbers. The students had to count to numbers on the dominoes then determine where to "park" it on the sheet! Here are some pictures of our learning below.

More Numbers!!!! Here we used a playdoh mat to identify numbers, We also had to fill the ten frame with the correct amount of playdoh balls to make the number!

We learned about how we are alike and different. With this, I decided to do a family glyph  We could then see the differences we all saw in our families. I let the students draw their houses and share on the carpet. (Idea from Chalk Talk, although hers looks WAY better than ours, better planning next time :/ )

Our focus letter was Oo. I think this one may have stuck in everyone's head!! After rotations on Friday we came back to the classroom for a surprise Octopus Oo Snack! (Hot dogs cut to have 8 legs. Well most of them. Some were in a terrible accident and lost limbs... Oops! Kids didn't seem to notice though.) Have you ever tried to cut 20 hot dogs into octopuses?? Not an easy task I tell ya!

I love AA's (orange shirt) face in this picture, I asked them what sound does the Oo make?! :)

Yummy!! It was great ending to our week!

Friday night a fabulous cold front blew in just in time for our town Freedom Parade on Saturday. This parade is a march down Main Street (we are a small town, it's allowed! haha) in memory and honor of those who were lost on September 11, 2001 and who fight for our Freedoms. I only found one student that was mine there! Thanks for coming sweet girl!

Busy week in room 163!

Ok something happened to my post last week!!!! It didn't publish and I didn't notice until trying to post this week! AHHHH! So this post was for the week of Sept2-5. Sorry!!

This was the longest "short week" ever! Things finally seemed to fall into place on Friday! Here are some activities we did this week!

We picked a partner to work with to order numbers to 10 (really threw them off when we didn't have a number one! Mr. H let us borrow and there weren't any aces that I could change as he had already separated for ordering)

We also read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Afterwards we made a coconut tree. Then added our name below, counted the letters, and stamped the letters in our names. 

Finally on Fun Friday, we made our Painted T toast! Thank you parents for sending the items for us to make this! We used food coloring, milk, and bread! Each student painted the letter we focused on this week, T, then I toasted it for them. They enjoyed the snack!

(S was for her name)
