There was a lot of fun and excitement to be had in Room 202 as we shared our first FULL week of school together! Please enjoy a few highlights below!
Literacy
This week in Literacy we read the story The Little School Bus by Carol Roth and discussed the essential question "How do we get to school?" We also practiced reading the words "I" and "am" and reviewed the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F! Identifying and producing rhyming words was another skill we focused on this week in class!
The students above practiced making this week's sight words with Playdough during center time!
To practice our rhyming skills, each child was given a picture and asked to find the friend who had their rhyming match!
Mat Man!
Another highlight of our week was meeting Mat Man who helps us remember the various body parts that should be included in our drawings (we will also see him again when practicing our handwriting skills!). The children had a fantastic time listening to a Mat Man story and signing a Mat Man song! They also got a chance to put Mat Man together independently, and make their own version of Mat Man at one of our learning centers this week!
The children above practiced putting Mat Man together on the carpet!
These two students picked new shapes for Mat Man's body!
Mrs. B's Bucket Fillers!
This week we also read the story Have You Filled a Bucket Today? By Carol McCloud. This wonderful book encourages positive behavior by using the concept of an invisible bucket to show children how easy and rewarding it is to display kindness through their words and actions. By helping and treating one another nicely, the students in Room 202 quickly began filling each others buckets!
It was a great first week in Room 202! Thanks so much for stopping by!
