We are continuing with theme 3 “Our Community” and starting unit 3 titled “Things That Move”. BIG Idea: The workers in my community help everyone. Social-Emotional Focus: Responsibility. The theme vocabulary words include: driver, passenger, safety, traffic, transportation, travel and vehicle. Math vocabulary words include: pattern, next, first, last.
We will be learning the letter Ii, reviewing numbers 1-10, and reviewing colors and shapes. For our afternoon instruction, we will continue to work on our community project, review the letter Ii and complete a fall patterns sheet. Every Friday, we will continue to recap the week in our Journals.
We will continue talking about leaves, scarecrows, and completing various crafts. We will also be discussing Thanksgiving and what it means to be Thankful in lieu of the upcoming holiday. We will also add in a cornucopia project and talk about the season of harvesting. We will continue to play with orange rice, corn and acorns for our sensory bin. Lastly, to go along with our unit, we will be baking cornbread and churning butter from scratch with ECC 4! Pictures to come on our Classdojo!
For music and movement, we will continue to sing our Thanksgiving song titled “Thank Him” and dance to a guided Turkey dance using GoNoodle.com! We will also continue to practice our songs for our upcoming Christmas Program!
