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!

We also met Mr. Munch - who is helping us practice our letters and sounds some more!  The kids love him!

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!

Humpty Dumpty, Nursery Rhyme Day, Candy Corn STEM, and Leaf Art

We had a quick week, but had a great time with our activities!  We are working on rhyming at school and had some fun with Nursery Rhymes.  We learned Humpty Dumpty and wrote what we would do to put Humpty back together again.  We had our October STEM, (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), challenge and built things out of candy corns and toothpicks.  We also had our big Nursery Rhyme day and the kids did a great job!  We had a fun time using our fall leaves that we collected to make an animal.  They turned out great!  Enjoy the pictures!  :)
