So this week we talked about the letter Y and met Yippy the Yack, we talked about our homes, and focused on the color yellow. We found read a book about Yippy and found the Y's in it and practiced writing the letter Y. We traced the letter Y, glued yellow things on Y, and painted Y's.
We worked on sorting for math this week, we sorted items into different rooms of the house and sorted dinosaurs into different groups. We also started making patterns using unifex cubes.
We talked a lot about our houses and the things that we find in it. We did some rhymes to talk about who lives in our house, we made houses out of shapes, and found pictures from magazines and put them into houses.
We read the book "Shelter" this week and also "The Three Little Pigs." We made the 3 pigs houses, one made out of straw (shredded wheat), one made out of sticks (pretzels), and the last one made from bricks (cheez-its).
We built houses with blocks and with playdoh, painted a sun yellow and made prints using a lemon. We also talked about yams, and got to see, feel, and smell an uncooked one, and then see, feel, and smell a cooked one. We talked about what is different and the same with them.
This upcoming week we will be learning about apples, the letter A, and the color red. On Friday the 1st we are going to do an apple tasting day, so if you would be willing and able to bring in a few apples or some apple juice, applesauce, or anything else apple, that would be great! I'll have a sign-up sheet available on Monday.
See you all tomorrow!!
