week of August 17 | snapshot

We have been learning all about US this week!
Each day the students worked on their pages of their I Am Special books.









***These books have been bound and are going home today :)


We have also been learning about our 5 senses.
We had fun with our Sensory Buckets and practiced our sense of touch.
The students had to close their eyes and guess what the object was inside each bucket.





We also enjoyed using our sense of hearing when we played "Who Made the Sound?"
One student was blind-folded and one student made a sound...they usually chose animal sounds.
They were really good guessers and it's also a good name recognition game for the first week and learning your new friends' names. :)





They also loved Name the Smell!




Lots of artists blooming again this week while we discussed our Math Journals.






Square was our shape this week and every morning during Morning Meeting, we talked about places we have seen squares before in our environment. 
I am hearing the students talking about squares and their letters during conversations and I hope they are pointing out this recognition to you as well!


The students are digging deeper into the classroom in search of the letter of the day for Write the Room!



We began Limited Centers this week!
art/writing: drawing self-portraits in shaving cream





Listening Center


Housekeeping in Dramatic Play


School Days sensory tub in Discovery


geoboards in Math


and The Five Senses game in Technology


Each student will need a picture of their family by next Friday, August 28th
This can also be the picture the students leave in the classroom for the year if you haven't sent one in yet. 

Have a great weekend!!!
