The big book this week is Senses at the Seashore --A story about senses you have when at the seashore.  I brought in my conch shell for the children to listen and also touch.

Our Beanie Baby is Stretchy Snake.  Stretchy reminds us to stretch out and sound out new words (both when reading and when trying to write)

WRITING:

We write daily in our journals.  We also are continuing to talk about ‘small moments’.  This week we are brainstorming a story about our own small moment.

MATH:  We are continuing to use Halloween counters (erasers) to practice counting, sorting and patterning. We are investigating shapes.  We will also work on 5 and 10 frames.  We will continue to practice counting (to 30) and write and identify numbers.  We warm up counting to Jack Hartman.  You can Google him (He’s on YouTube!)  He has counting to 100 by 1’s, counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s!  We also do the letter of the week with Jack!!

SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES:

We are talking about fall and apples. Friday we will have firefighters visit with a fire truck.

TECHNOLOGY:

The children are all working on the computer every day doing Enterprise. They also get on their I pads.  I will be teaching them a rhyming ap this week.
