11/6 Classroom Update
We had a very busy and exciting week learning about numbers and the letter N! This week, we learned how to play a dice game called "Race to Fill the Cup" to practice counting, one-to-one correspondence and taking turns. We used salt trays to practice writing numbers with our fingers, built numbers out of playdough, worked on our own number books, and much more. Many students did not have time to finish their number books during center time. They can finish their books at home by tracing the big number with their finger while you read the rhyme, adding that many number of stickers onto the page, and trying to write their own numbers.
"Race to Fill the Cup" is an easy and fun game to play at home too! All you need is a dice, one cup for each player, and objects to use to fill your cups (we used cubes, but cereal, beans, small blocks, legos, and other toys would work too!). Players take turns rolling the dice, counting the number of dots on the dice, then counting aloud as they put that many objects in their cup. The first player to fill their cup wins (although I remind them we're all winners because we're all learning!)!
Conferences - I am looking forward to meeting with all of you this week for conferences! Conferences will be held Monday 11/9 from 3:30-7:00 pm, and Thursday 11/12 from 3:30-7:00 pm. If you still need to sign-up for your ten minute conference, you can sign-up using the link below. I can't wait to share all of your child's accomplishments with you!
Picture Retakes - Picture retakes will be Wednesday. November 11th. Please email me at kbillmei@egrps.org if you would like your child to have their picture retaken on the 11th. Picture order forms are also due on Monday, November 9th.
Next Week: Next week, we will be learning about the letter M and talking about Marvelous Monsters. We will be making our own Monster planters to plant peas, going on Monster color hunts around the room, mixing colors to make new colors, and playing with Monster goo.
I'm looking forward to another great week!
