Phonics:  Students played a word game to find the words of the week. Students sounded out the letters to read the words. 

After, students went up to the board and spelled out words on their own by sounding out each letter.

After, we watched bounce patrol for the letter R and jack hartman! Students really enjoy watching these videos.

Math: Unit: Patterning

Today we continued learning about patterning and sorting. 

Students discovered that some of their shoes had patterns in them!

We continued to talk about sorting and figuring out what doesn't belong.

Some students sorted out objects into 3 categories: glue sticks, scissors, erasers. 

Some of the items were not placed in the correct group. Students had to find which items didn't belong.

After, students worked in their Math workbook.

Students understand that the Giraffe does not belong in the first group because it is not a cat.

In the second category, the rake does not belong because it is not a shovel.

In the third category, the skate board and roller blade does not belong because they have 4 wheels where as the scooter and bike have only 2.

Unit of Inquiry: "Outside Our Window"

Yesterday we started our new unit, Outside our Window. We have been discussing all the different colors we see in fall. Students went on a nature walk yesterday and found different kinds of colored leaves.

Today we did an art activity called Rubbing and students were introduced to primary colors:

 BLUE, RED, YELLOW.

 Students used the leaves they gathered yesterday and put it under a white sheet of paper. We used a crayon and rubbed it on top of the sheet to create the outline of the leaf.

Tuesday, October 17

Phonics: Today we learned  the sound, action and words that begin with the letter H.

We watched a bounce patrol video and discovered new words that begin with the letter H.

We brainstormed words together.

After, students created the letter Hh using playdough and worked on a letter H worksheet.

Journal: Students wrote about what they did on the weekend.

Students copied sentence prompt on the board, "On the weekend I...." students sounded out words and wrote about what they did over the weekend.

Math: Today we talked about sorting and why it is important to sort objects in groups. We looked at things around the classroom and noticed how the books were all sorted, how the pencil  caddy is sorted. Students know that it is important to sort and organize things because it makes it easier to find where things are.

Students were asked to look at this image and guess what the sorting rule was. 

Students noticed that the toys were sorted based on their color. 

Students know that objects can be sorted in different ways based on their attributes.

After, we worked in our math work books and sorted hats. Students grouped the winter hats together, the helmets together and the baseball caps together.

Mila's sorting rule: Hearts and squares together & circles and triangles together

Syra's sorting rule: Flowers & circles

Kaysha's sorting rule: balloons together and squares together

Unit of Inquiry: We have started our new unit, Outside Our Window. In this unit we are exploring the different seasons. Students know that we are in fall and that leaves change color and fall off the trees. 

We went on a nature walk outside and discovered all the different color leaves.

Look at what the SK students discovered outside:

After, we watched a video about fall and students learned how the weather gets colder and the days get shorter in fall. Video "Autumn is Here"
