We had a short recess outside enjoying the sunshine. It is a little breezy and chilly so please send a sweatshirt or coat for your child. Then we read a book with only pictures (no words) and learned how we need to look at the picture clues to tell us what the book is about. The students did a great job! Our letter for today was the letter Bb, so we practiced the /b/ sound and practiced writing the letter Bb.
Our math today was really fun! We practiced different ways we could sort some specific toys I had pulled out. We learned we could sort them by color, by size, by shape, by how hard or soft the toys were. Our math practice page is in our backpack and we had to sort the six items we cut out. We had to figure out what would go in a backpack and what would go in the toy box. Students did a great job with this too. Practice sorting different things and looking for similarities at home with different objects. For instance, the blue car and the Batman with the blue cape could be in the same group because they both have blue. But the Batman could also be with the tall dinosaur and Garfield because they are the tallest and biggest toys.
