Today, we added three new words to our Word Wall. The girls used their iPads and the Magnabet app to drag letter "magnets" and spell their new Word Wall words.
The girls were introduced to their first author of the month--Donald Crews! We gave the girls some background on Mr. Crews and showed them many of his books, including Night at the Fair,Freight Train and Flying. Their favorite fact was that he called his beloved grandmother "Bigmama"! We read School Bus and the girls had to describe what they see as they travel to school each day. They drew these images onto bus windows which are hanging in our classroom.
In Math, the girls went on a Lego Hunt! After they found all of the Legos, the girls sorted them into groups by color. Then, we discussed the various amounts of different colors and talked about the concepts of "more than" and "less than".
