Journals

 We will work in our journals all year long. This is a time to work on following multi step directions, learning to write beginning sounds, practicing invented spelling, and even how to form sentences all around a themed writing prompt.

Today we explored favorite colors. We have been reading a book about "Bear sees Colors," made a class book about our favorite colors, and then finished by having a crayon to indicate our favorite color in our journals.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you sort/taste?

 Sometimes math is yummy-we have been reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see? Along with retelling the story, recognizing colors and animals we completed a math activity. We took M&Ms and sorted by color/character. We counted how many each color had, which had the most/least, and of course got to eat (if they wanted too).

















Self portriats

 We practiced how to draw a person today. Lot of singing head, shoulders, knees, and toes in order to remember all the parts we need to make ourselves!

Move over Picasso!

 Painting and art is always a choice in the Octopus Room. Today we explored the art easel which right now includings painting, and chalk drawing. Of course we had to create our first masterpiece of the year!
