Song of the Week
The Turkey Song
(Sung to the tune of "Do Your Ears Hang Low", with arms positioned like turkey wings)
Well you turkey to the left (move left)
And you turkey to the right (move right)
Then you take your turkey foot (stick out one foot, heel to the ground)
And you scratch with all your might (scratch heel on ground)
Then you take your turkey head (point to head)
And you move it wobble-wobble (shake head up and down)
Then you turn around in place (turn around)
And you say "Gobble-Gobble!"
Weekly Centres
Printing and Letters
We kept practicing writing letters, this time working on the letter D. We also started looking at the sight words "the" and "of". Then, we glued the individual letters to cardstock.
Math
We continued the theme of sorting. The week, students chose a bucket of items ranging from animals to dinosaurs to cars and sorted them by an attribute of their choosing.Art
Part two of our leaf rubbing project. We took our rubbings from the week before and covered them with watercolours, with the intention of being able to see the pastel through the watercolour.
Drama
In our house centre, students were asked to re-enact family dinners, with the focus on trying to put together a Thanksgiving dinner.
Other Things We Did
We talked about what being "thankful" is and why being thankful for things like family, friends, food and shelter is different than liking things like Ninjago and skeletons.
We've officially started exchanging books at the library! Don't forget to send you old ones in so you can get new ones!
We talked about words that start with the letters "S" and "A".
We read "The Three Little Kids" through an interactive RAZ-Kids book and answered questions on the touch-screen on our library Smartboard.
