Bats

This week we had fun learning about bats!  We read some informational books and practiced listening for facts and then we wrote some of our own facts!  We also sorted words that rhymed with or did not rhyme with bat, played some bat math games, made our own bat caves, and learned all about the -at word family.  We even got to use magnifying glasses to hunt for -at words!

In math, we have been learning more about subtraction.  We read "Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons" and practiced writing some subtraction stories with Pete.  We also used some real buttons to help us practice modeling subtraction and then we wrote equations!  Enjoy the pictures!

Nursery Rhymes and Leaf Art

We are working on rhyming at school and had some fun with Nursery Rhymes this week.  We learned Humpty Dumpty and wrote what we would do to put Humpty back together again.  We also learned The Itsy Bitsy Spider made a fun project with a "real" spider and waterspout.  We also had our big Nursery Rhyme day and the kids did a great job!  Thank you to all the parents that came and watched!  And we had a fun time using our fall leaves that we collected to make an animal.  They turned out great!  Enjoy the pictures!  :)
