Gifts for Kids
A friendly reminder that gift donations for the Gift for Kids program are due this Monday, December 10th. Thank you so much in advance for your generosity!
Holiday Cards
The children had a fantastic time creating their own holiday cards for the annual Dedham Savings Bank holiday card making contest! We can't wait to find out who the lucky winners will be in a few weeks!
Curriculum
Literacy
We continued to talk about hibernation last week as we read the nonfiction text A Bed for the Winter by Karen Wallace. The children enjoyed the real photographs in this book and continued to build background knowledge about animals that hibernate. We also were introduced to the sight words he and for, and reviewed the letter "i". In Fundations we learned about the letters x and y.
Math
This week in math we continued to learn about number order and practiced sequencing numbers from 1 to 10! We also learned about number lines and how they can be used for counting. This class had a great time using our giant number line to practice their counting and sequencing skills!
We also had a blast making number giraffes! This fun craft activity was another way the students practiced their number writing and sequencing skills.
Sugar Cube Igloos!
Thank you SO much to everyone who so generously donated boxes of sugar cubes to our classroom. The class had a great time making their own 3-D igloos. It was a wonderful (and fun!) way to end our very busy week!
Thank you so much for taking a peek at our week! I hope you check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202! :)
