Cut Cut Cut!

Everyone has been practicing cutting all by theirselves as well! Practice makes perfect :)

Transportation!

This month we have been working on TRANSPORTATION! The units are broken down by the environment in which the vehicles are used. We started with ROAD VEHICLES (Car, Bus and Truck), then moved on to AIR VEHICLES (Plane, Hot Air Balloon and Helicopter), and this week we have learned about WATER VEHICLES (Boat and Submarine). Here are some pictures of the children and the projects they have done during these lessons!

New Semester!! This semester we will do a lot of review. Everyone learned the subjects from last semester VERY well, but I want to make sure that they comprehend, and do not simply memorize things that Caroline teacher says. Turquoise class has started learning OPPOSITES. Many of these are new so we will work on them throughout the semester, as well as introduce more and more as we go along. **Look at the song page for updated songs for practice at home- there is one for OPPOSITES/

We will also be continuing from numbers 1-10 all the way up to 20! We will do this slowly, reviewing and building on 1-10 so that the children will recognize numbers on their own, as well as be able to count.

Shapes and Fruits!!

We have been learning shapes and fruits for the past two weeks. We learned five basic shapes: circle, square, triangle, heart, and star. The children recognize these shapes in everyday objects. We practiced finding CIRCLES in many different objects throughout our classroom and the whole school. Everyone has learned circle very quickly!! Practicing the other shapes will help them comprehend them just as well as they know circle!

Here are some of our shape related crafts!!

For our food section we learned names for banana, apple, strawberry, grapes, pear, and orange. The pronunciation of "strawberry" was especially hard for everyone, so keep practicing! Mastering "strawberry" will help the children with tough words in the future (particularly those with two adjacent consonants).
