We ended our Farm Unit this week and will begin our Community themed unit on Monday. Students enjoyed exploring the story "The Three Little Pigs". Students have learned that many of the things we eat come from the farm. They also learned about the process of getting those things to the grocery store where they can be purchased. We finally made it outside on Thursday, and students had so much fun playing in the giant leaves that have arrived on our playground! They were having a blast pretending it was "snow" on the ground.
Skills we learned this week:
- Second Step Social Skills- Managing Disappointment
- Character Counts- Compassionate (What does it mean to be compassionate?)
- Exploring sounds
- Weather types
- Location of objects in the environment
- Similarities and differences in families
- Forming letter and beginning sounds
- Subtraction- Vocabulary terms (subtraction, take away, equals)
- Subtraction stories (subtracting with a pirate- taking away)
- Apple take away stories- Students created their own subtraction stories where they took away apples and then determined what they had left.
