Everyone, last week, for Social Studies, made "The Statue of Liberty" crown and torch. Then , the students wore the crown to lunch. Everyone was "The Statue of Liberty" for a day. The students learned that "The Statue of Liberty" stands for hope. Everyone, also, had a chance to decorate beehives. The beehive decorating went along with our classroom theme that "We All Bee-Long Together".
Kindergarten
Last week the Kindergarteners blew bubbles at recess. The bubbles where in the shape of a circle--the shape the students were learning about in Math. The Kindergarteners, also. cut out pictures from magazines ,of items that God made and put into His world for us. The pictures were glued onto a paper entitled "Things in God's World".
This Week in Kindergarten:
Phonics----The students will learn about the letter "Oo"--keyword--octopus. The students will learn that the letter "Oo" is a vowel. The students will be doing many "Oo" worksheets; making an octopus paper bag puppet, and listening to an "Oo" story. During the "Oo" story, whenever the students hear a word that starts with the "Oo" sound--the students should raise their octopus paper bag puppet.
Math---The boys and girls will be sorting objects by size (big or small), and by color and shape. The students will continue their study of shapes. The next shape to be studied is the 'square'. The square's poem is: Sally Square, is my name. My four sides all look the same. Draw up, across, down, and back. My box shape is right on track. Sally Square is my name. My four sides all look the same. The color "blue" will be studied. The boys and girls will cheerlead the color word "blue". Cheerleading a color word is a fun way to learn how to spell and read color words. The students will be counting and writing the number "2". Number 2's poem is: Around and back on the railroad track. The train goes, two, two, two.
Handwriting----The students will continue printing their name, and practicing writing their first name on the correct line. The letter "Oo" will also be printed. Handwriting workbook pages will also be done.
Religion---The students will learn in Chapter 2, in their "We Believe" religion book, that God gives us light. The light in the day is the sun, and the light at night are the moon and the stars. God gave us the gift of light because He loves us.
