KM’s Week in Review:

Monday:
Today we read the book Pumpkin, Pumpkin and sequenced the story.  The kids did a wonderful job with this.  In math we worked on number order and continue to work on rote counting by 1s.  We are excited to do our “pumpkin science” and will begin that tomorrow. 

Tuesday:

Today we worked on estimating in math and see how it can come in handy for us.  We also worked on sorting skills in math and discussed different ways you can sort.  We began the pumpkin science activities and are having fun completing them!  Writing the capital letter R can be difficult, but if we take our time, we can do it well. 

Wednesday:

We discussed the similarities and differences between apples and pumpkins.  We are amazed at how many similarities and differences between the two!  Another day of pumpkin science and working on our estimations was fun as well.

Thursday:

Today we read Peter Rabbit and wrote a letter to Benjamin Bunny and created a list of the foods in the story.  There sure were a lot of vegetables!  We tied in a discussion on good nutrition.  We finished our pumpkin science! The biggest pumpkin we had was 12 pounds and the smallest was one pound.  Thank you to all of the students who brought in a pumpkin for everyone to use.  J

Friday:

Busy, Busy, Busy!!  We had a great time reading another nonfiction book about pumpkins and a fiction book about pumpkin seeds.  We learned more fun pumpkin facts.  We also had fun in PE playing an “emergency” game and rolled around a lot on the scooters.  We were tuckered out!
