Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

We started learning all about letters.  We have been enjoying singing, dancing, and learning how to correctly form our letters.  We have also enjoyed coconuts and will continue to learn more about our letters, senses, and coconuts this week.  We just had to read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

What's inside my bucket?  Letters!  We counted and put the magnetic letters in abc order. 



 
 
I introduced the 5 senses with the help of a friend. 
Then we enjoyed learning this song...
 

Pass the coconut.   What does it feel like?  What does it smell like?  What do you see?  What does it sound like?


 


 
 
 
Stay tunned into next week...to see if we like the taste of cocnut?
 

Names

We read the story A My Name is Alice.  We made self portraits. 
 

 
We also read Chrysanthemum.  We counted, measured and graphed how many letters we have in our name. 




 
 

Have you filled your bucket?

This week we continued to learn about our classroom routines and expectations. (I had to change a few things so the day will flow a little better)...Things have got to flow!!   I finally introduced our buckets.  Children who show kindness each day can fill up their buckets with a pom pom. 

 
Check out our new song!

First Day Jitters

We read First Day Jitters and graphed how we felt about school. 




                                                        We had fun making a school bus snack!

Check out the video of some school fun!



We read the story The Crayon Box that Talked and worked together to draw one picture.





We shared our finished products...






We read No David!   We discussed what is a peacemaker and a peacebreaker.  Together we came up with some class rules to follow.
