We have been learning about Miss T and her tall teeth. We made toads, turtles, and telephones. There were many children who didn't know their telephone numbers, that would be a good thing to practice. We worked on "write around the room" looking for T words and printing them on a paper on a clipboard.
We have been still been working on rhyming words and now have started counting the syllables in words. ( I explain it as how many parts a word has) We will say a word and clap out its parts. Sometimes if a word has many parts we will tap it out on the table with our fingers. We now have 4 words on our word wall, they are "at"," a", "is", &" the". These words have shown up a lot in our poem books, see if your child can find some of them!
We started our "counting books". The children will learn a number poem to help them print the number and then count out the right number of shapes and then use the shapes to make a picture. We played a game called "grab and count", where the children needed to record how many cubes they grabbed. We will also be playing a game called "roll and record" where they have to roll a die, count the dots and trace the right number.
In honor of Miss T, we will have T-shirt day on Thursday, November 12th. Wear your favorite t-shirt!!
We start "special person" next week. Every Friday a new name will be drawn from the basket to be our person of the week. The child will receive a "Me Magazine" to fill out over the weekend and will then share it with the class on Monday! This week Samantha and Linnea were chosen!!
