Literacy
We discussed the Scholastic mini newspaper from yesterday- things we see in our community on the way to school - children brainstormed ideas and then drew their idea for a class book. They dictated their idea to complete the sentence, "On my way to school, I can see....."
Reader's Workshop
*We reviewed how the cover of a book can tell you about the story inside. Children made predictions about the book we were about to read, Butterflies. We talked about how you can "read" a book more than once and notice details that you hadn't noticed before.
Math
*Children created shapes using the geoboards.
*We discussed and modeled 2 different kinds of patterns: growing and repeating.
*Children prepared name dot papers to use in a letter graph on Monday.
Story
We read, Butterflies and Caterpillars, a big book and discussed how the white cabbage butterfly was the same or different from the Monarch.
Special - Art Class - children had a substitute teacher for Miss Morin, Mrs. Connors, who was my sub last week!
New
*Children learned the rainstick greeting
*We learned the song, "Little Rabbit Foo Foo".
