Name painting

Our book focus this week is Chrysanthemum. This is a story about a little mouse who feels uncomfortable about her very long name. One of the ways we feel proud of our own name was fingerpainting it today! We also graphed how many letters were in our name and made comparisons with our peers.

Work stations

 We have daily work stations in the afternoon. The station below is called "write the room" when they use dry erase boards to write words and letters in the classroom.

 The next station was rolling the dice to color in the matching numeral.

 They also had the chance to play "spill the beans" and record numbers.

The children did a great job sorting by beginning sounds. What a busy group of kids!!

Name collage

 The children used their cutting skills to create a collage of various colors to decorate their name. Their name was written on large paper and they used the construction paper squares to glue over it.
