Last week sure was a busy one in Room 202! I hope you enjoy reading about all of the fun and excitement we had!
Literacy
Last week in Literacy we read the story Whose Garden Is It? by Mary Ann Hoberman. While reading this fantasy tale we answered the question, "Who lives in a garden?". We also continued to review the sight words "for" and "he" and learned all about the letter N!
We had a great time making necklaces on Friday as our learning about the letter N came to a close!
Math
Last week in math we continued our exploration of teen numbers! We learned that the number 15 is made up of one group of ten and then five more, and the number 16 is made up of one group of ten and then six more! This week we will take a closer look at the numbers 17 and 18!
The students above had a great time making teen numbers on geoboards during math centers!
Brian Lies Visits!
Last week author Brian Lies came to visit Boyden School! Mr. Lies is the author AND illustrator of the "bat books" including Bats in the Band and Bats at the Library (just to name a few!).
During his exciting visit we learned how Mr. Lies gets the ideas for his stories, and all of the work that goes into publishing a book! He also showed us how he draws his famous bat characters!
Fire Safety!
On Friday, we were excited to welcome Firefighter Pete and Firefighter Donovan to Boyden! They taught us some VERY important information about fire safety, including what to do if your clothing is on fire, as well as the number you should call in case of an emergency. The kindergarten classes really enjoyed their visit!
A few lucky student volunteers got to demonstrate how to stop, drop, and roll.
Mrs. G was brave enough to try on firefighter Donovan's gear!
After Firefighter Pete and Firefighter Donovan's visit we took a little extra time to review the number to call in case of an emergency!
Holiday Crafts
Friday was also an exciting day as we enjoyed the first round of holiday crafts! The children had a fantastic time playing Reindeer Ring Toss, and making adorable candy cane and snowman projects! Thank you SO much to all of the parents who were able to join us. We are looking forward to another round of holiday fun this coming Friday!
