We have been busy the last few weeks! During our study of colors students did a color search in the classroom. They went looking for items in the classroom that were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, pink, and gray.
When learning about school helpers we started the week off with a tour of our school. We got to see everything inside and outside of the building.
Throughout the week we had a chance to visit several different school helpers. We began by visiting the school nurse, Mrs. Ward and then Dr. Bussman, our principal. A highlight of the week was visiting our building engineer Mr. Weber. He took us down to the basement of the school where we were able to see the boiler and the underground tunnel system. Students thought this was very interesting!!
Students worked hard in small groups to create school safety posters. Each group focused on a different area including: the classroom, cafeteria, bus, gym, hallway, and playground. After creating their posters which included safety tips for their area groups had a chance to present their posters to the rest of the class.
Partner reading during literacy time.
This past week in science we learned about seasons and fall. We started the week off by observing a big tree out on the playground and discussing the parts of a tree.
Later in the week students sorted things that had to do with fall/autumn from things that did not. We ended the week by learning about why leaves change colors.
In literacy this week we learned all about syllables. Students did an excellent job counting out syllables using our special clapper tools.
