More Spiders and the Letter T!



We will continue our study on spiders this week!  I am having a blast with this one and so are the kiddos, Ms. Malissa is still unsure if she is going to enjoy learning so much about these amazing creatures...she is a bit freaked out by them!  :)


Unit Study- Spiders



Letter of the Week-  T

Math-   Putting numbers in order 1-10 and counting ten objects using one-to-one correspondence.

Science-    What do spiders do when it gets cold out?  (While we were outside on a spider hunt on Friday, we were searching for spiders, but could not find any, which lead to the question...  "Ms. Hollie, where are the spiders at?  Is it too cold outside?"  Hmmmm...great question, let's find the answer together next week.

Literacy- Journals

Social Emotional-  Giving compliments

Dramatic Play-  Office

PLEASE remember to pack hats and mittens as the temperature gets colder.  We have lots of cold little heads during our outdoor time.  Thank you!

Photo Shoot

 A few shots of our photo shoot in action!  While the students were waiting to go out to have their picture taken, we played, "FIND SHAPES IN OUR ROOM".  The kids had a blast finding different shapes and did great!
