We learned about our bodies and how to take care of them :
Each class enjoyed adding the bones, organs, and muscles to a life size cut out body. |
We learned about the different parts of our body including our legs and feet and painted with our feet. |
We learned that germs make us sick, and if we are sick the doctor knows what to do to help us feel better. Everyone sure had fun pretending to be doctors. |
We learned that a good way to keep germs away is to stay clean by taking baths and washing our hands |
The whole class enjoyed having grandparents come to visit. We sang a little song for them, then made patchwork picture frames together. The students were so excited to have their grandparents visit. The whole week before they were asking if their grandparents were coming that day and would tell each other that their grandparents were coming to school soon. Then, the whole week after their visit that's all they could talk about!
We also learned about our feelings and each class created beautiful murals after looking at paintings that made them feel happy or sad and while listening to happy then sad music.
We learned about our 5 senses and sat down outside with our eyes closed to listen to what we could hear outside. We also made some amazing art with koolaid, fruit loops, sensory sticks, and shakers.
Our morning class also had a high school class come and perform a play for us. They did the book "Where the Wild Things Are" and put on masks and acted out the roaring and gnashing teeth. The class really enjoyed it. They clapped for them and as they were leaving some of the students said, "That was so cool!"
We are currently in the middle of learning about colors and will be learning about Fall, Apples, Pumpkins, Bears, Nursery Rhymes, and Thanksgiving up through November.
Of course every day we are learning how to be good friends, sharing, taking turns, and playing nicely together.
