What we did this week:
Theme: We learned all about bears this week-Black bears, polar bears and brown bears. We used the smartboard a lot this week to learn about bears-we watch a bear video, learned about different types of bears, sorted bears and learned about Non-living and Living things and then did another sort with bears that were living and non-living. We made a polar bear during art time as well as a snowman, which are hanging in our room this week. They turned out very cute!
Math Centers: Roll and color race –get the bear to his cave, Gummy bear sort-sorting gummy bears to see which color had the most and least, Number 13 worksheet-fill in each bear with the number 13 and connect the dot bear sheet with number practice on the back.
Writers Workshop/Readers Workshop-Read Golidlocks and the Three Bears, we also acted it out and then watched the video of the book. The children really enjoyed acting it out-check it out on Facebook
We also wrote about what we like to do with our teddy bears at home-wait for the take home book to circulate to your house.
We had PALS testing Thursday and Friday of this week and the children did great!
