WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 19




This week in...

Reading:
Started reader's workshop
Discussed how books are like friends.  Treat them kindly and spend lots of time with them!
There are 3 ways to read a book

Writing:
Friends, Friends 123
Who has an E in their name
B and R sort

Math:
  • Described shapes and played "Which shape did I take?"
  • Played a symmetry game 
  • Played "under the rug"--a game in which you have 5 objects on top of a "rug" (you can use anything).   Player 1 hides some of the objects under the "rug".  Player 2 figures out how many objects are under the rug by looking at how many are left on top.  Great game to play at a restaurant.  I use sugar packets and call it "Under the Napkin!"  Increase the number as they gain understanding.

Other:
Painted pumpkins thanks to Summer's Grammy and Grampy!
We had out first guidance lesson
Here's a song we learned...


What to do at home:
Play under the rug
