A week full of fun!

This has been such a fun week and a busy one too!! We have continued our unit on Fairy Tales and have continued focusing on bears. We read Corduroy, This is The Bear, Polar Bear Polar Bear What Do You See, Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See, and Corduroy Goes to School. We talked about parts of a story- beginning, middle, and end. We also focused a lot this week on rhyming words and on clapping out syllables in words.
Our letter of the week was B and the kids came up with so many B words. They have also been pointing them out all week around the room and around our school.
We did some fun math activities this week as well. We used three different kinds of Teddy Grahams to sort and distinguish most and least. And then we got to have a yummy snack too!
We had a blast having bear day today. I loved all of the different kinds of bears that the kids brought in to share. We compared similarities and differences in all of our bears. We lined them up on the floor and sorted them by bears who were wearing outfits and bears who were not wearing outfits. Then the children did their own graphs comparing the bears. We colored pictures of our bears and came up with special words that described our bears.
Thanks so much for returning the bears that the kids decorated at home. They are all so different and adorable! They have loved showing them to each other. We have them proudly displayed in our room right now.
Christian was our Star Student this week and we loved getting to know more about him. His mom came and read to us this week and brought a special treat to share on Friday.
It's been a wonderful week! I hope that everyone has a great weekend and enjoys this cool, fall weather! Thank you for sharing your sweet children with me each day- they are truly a blessing!
