September 2009

We started learning the letters "T" "H" "M" & "N." We will learn the capital and lowercase letters with their sounds.

Math: We are still working on sorting. We sort blocks by color,size, or shape. I also briefly introduced them to classifying and making a simple graph. This week we will be discussing and playing games with direction words, i.e. top, middle, bottom.

Science: Our mini units this month focus on insects and trees. We went on a bug hunt and graphed what we found!

We will also be talking about and pretending to be community helpers! We will be learning about all the services and jobs people on our community do to help us. Our Field Trip to the Post Office is scheduled for September 28th.

These children have imaginations!! This week we discovered that they each have a button in their shoulders that turn them into active participants or help them sit "criss-cross, applesauce!" (Yes, Erin that would be started by Bryson, from Robots!)
