Nov. 8-27th, 2010...FIELD TRIP!!! YAY! On Nov. 8th we went to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. Lili and Gabi both had a great time. Lili's favorite part was the sharks and I think Gabi's favorite was seeing "Nemo", clown fish. I requested a few books about some of the ocean life we would be seeing at the aquarium so that the rest of the week we could use that as our topic. We looked up information about sharks since that was Lili's favorite. She colored a picture of a shark and then wrote a few facts about them on the sheet. She colored a map of the world to show where the oceans are. In addition to our theme of the week we also practiced telling time on the clock and read some of our own books.
Week of the 15th...we colored some Thanksgiving pictures, practiced math with the dry erase sheets from Uncle Tom, read books, talked about and found on the books where the authors name and the illustrators names are and what those people did to make the book, we did a few pages in our workbooks, we got out our crayons, a sheet of paper and some lids, buckets, cups and some square items. traced around the bottoms to make circles and squares of different colors and sizes all over the paper then created a pretty picture from our shapes (clock square and / or circle, tires, balloons, lollipop, flower, etc...). Lili really liked this activity.
Thanksgiving week was a short week. We only had school on Mon., Tues., and Wed. This week we made a big word wall and cut out shapes and pictures of Thanksgiving related things and wrote the word on them and taped them up on our word wall. Some of our Thanksgiving words were...family, fall, harvest, dinner, turkey, gobble, pumpkin pie, November, Indian, Pilgrim and parade. We also read some Thanksgiving books from the library, colored some Thanksgiving coloring pages, made turkeys with by tracing out hands and did some building work with legos and thingamajigs (yep, that is really what they are called) Happy Thanksgiving!!
