Weekly we add words on our "word
wall" and in the ABC center, we practiced writing them in shaving cream
and used cereal to write them. After reading Brown Bear, Brown
Bearseveral times as a whole group, we listened to it at the listening
center and made
brown bear puppets.
Weíve been learning about Native
Americans. We read a book called Buried Secrets, which told about
different tribes that lived in the United States long ago. Native American
tribes wrote in symbols, as the ancient Egyptians did as well. They
also used all parts of the animals they hunted. In one of our centers
this week, we wrote symbol stories on "animal
skins".
During one of our science center
we did bark rubbings and made observations of our adopted classroom tree.
We chose an Oak tree in our outdoor
classroom.
For Thanksgiving we colored turkey
feathers and wrote on them what weíre thankful for. Gobble...Gobble
