Tuesday's snapshot

we continued with our jack-o-lantern glyphs from yesterday for the students who were not here.









we also played a fall roll and cover game for numbers 1-6.
they students rolled the die, told me the number they rolled, and used a bingo dot marker to mark that number on their game board.










we are enjoying Mr. Nathaniel, our PE major. he's always very hands-on with the students and they love it!


we walked up to the music room and played echo drumming with Ms. Poole's homemade drums :)


we echoed patterns, made galloping and rain sounds, and then each student chose a song to sing and we played along with our drums.


we will be experimenting with different soaps this week because our focus question is How do we take care of our clothes.

we added to our web:

question of the day: 











in the Room of Discovery, ROD, with Ms. Annie the students read Family Huddle by Archie, Peyton, and Eli Manning, and discussed how sports players wear jerseys. They talked about all the sports that we have on the UWA campus, and Ms. Annie showed them all a golf ball, tennis ball, basketball, football, soccer ball, volleyball, softball and baseball. Then each student got to pick which ball went with the coordinating jersey. It was tricky, but they figured it out! To wrap up the lesson all the students got to finger paint a number and their last name on paper cut out to look like a jersey. These will be displayed in the ROD room.

I HAVE HOMEWORK!!!

Please send the following by Friday:

* if there is a parent who has a special talent that they can do with their hands (play an instrument, juggle, knit, etc) we would love to have you visit our room and share your talent with us. please email me if you or someone you know is interested.
* an example of environmental print for our Word Wall beginning with the letter Cc. Environmental print is the print on road signs, restaurants, cereal boxes, and other places in the environment. The word "stop" on a stop sign or the name "McDonald's" on the sign for the fast food restaurant. Environmental print is the first introduction most children have to reading. Have a letter Bb hunt around your house with your child and see what you might find to bring J
