Everyone is very careful and focused while working with scissors. We love cutting paper and creating shapes like circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. Some students even tried to make bullet trains!
Continuing our unit of inquiry, we started with some beautiful watercolor paintings. First, we created our own individual painting, and then, we created a large painting together.
As we learn about January, we started studying snow. Since it is not snowing yet, we decided to make our own snow with Pre-K for a messy, fun, and sensory experience.
Speaking of snow, we all love snowmen so much. We learned a new snowman song that introduces subtraction. We even made our own snowmen out of clay and discussed the difference between our 2D snowmen and 3D snowmen.
To encourage our own reading, 2nd and 4th grade read to us every week. We love showing the older students our favorite books! We also enjoyed learning more about the seasons by reading The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle.
Our class loves games, and so we did a pom pom competition. We split up into three teams, and then we use clothes pins to pick up pom poms and transfer them to our team basket. This helps build fine motor skills so that we will be great writers someday. Then, after we finished, we counted the pom poms together and compared quantities. The yellow team had 46 pom poms!
We hope you all have a nice weekend.
