Take a peek to see what we have been up to this week!
Math
This week in math we reviewed how to use a pan balance and talked about the terms balanced, equal, heavier, and lighter. We also introduced the concept of probability. We talked about what it means when things are sure or certain to happen and talked about the terms possible and impossible. We learned a new game this week called the Train Game, which reinforced making complements of 10.
Jolly Phonics
This week we learned the following sounds:
/v/ as in "van"
/oo/ as in "book" or as in "moon"

Literacy
The children enjoyed listening to several stories this week related to fall and Thanksgiving. They also learned the sight word "go" and brought home a new sight word book that highlighted three different types of punctuation--a period, a question mark, and an exclamation point. The children continued to practice their writing this week as they wrote several Thanksgiving themed pieces. We learned a new poem this week called The Turkey and reviewed the concept of rhyming words and learned about the ending -ing. The children also brought home new guided reading books this week too!
Centers
In centers this week, the children listened to a Thanksgiving inspired story called The Very First Thanksgiving and used the iPads to play math and literacy BINGO games. They also worked with our new sight word "go" and used pattern blocks to reinforce their patterning skills. They also played a game called "Domino Parking Lot," which required the students to count all of the dots on our domino "cars" and park them in the the appropriate parking spots. This activity not only provided an opportunity for students to practice their counting skills, it also provided them with foundational practice for understanding addition and math facts. Using the dominos with different combinations of dots, the students were able to see that different combinations can have the same total. For example, a domino with 6 dots and 1 dot could be parked in the same spot with a domino that had 5 dots and 2 dots. For a simple game, there was lots of learning going on!
