What We Have Been Doing-

Math-

Last week we continued developing our skip counting skills. Students learned how to distinguish between a nickel and a penny, and began counting with nickels and pennies. We are still working with money this week. We will discover how to tell time on an analog clock, as well.

Theme

For theme last week we learned how heat moves from hot to cold. We also discussed how important it is too wear warm clothes during this time of the year. We found out how hats keep our bodies from losing heat. We also did some Christmas and Hanukah activities.

This week we will work with more Christmas activities and learn about other winter holidays.

What We Have Been Doing

Math

 For Math we worked on graphing, and skip counting by twos. We are still measuring the class and observing how much they have grown. This week we will construct a class bridge made of pipe cleaners and straws. We will measure how long our bridge is using inches, feet, and kindergarten hands. We will also work on skip counting by 5s. The students will learn how to play a game called Top It; which is similar to the card game, War.

Theme

For Theme, we learned that there are many types of energy. We focussed on light energy. We will explore heat and sound energy during the next two weeks. We will learn about the Winter holidays throughout the month of December. We will read books and do activities centered around Kwanza and St. Nicholas this week.
