Plant Vocabulary

This week we start our new theme "Nature All Around Us." We are learning vocabulary words that deal with plants. Yesterday we talked about the definition of each word and how to recognize the words based on the first letter. We learned the words: plant, seeds, root, tree, vine, flower, and petals. Today in our journals we each picked a word, glued it in our notebook, and then drew a picture to show what our word meant.

Working Together

We love learning by working together! This week we read a book called the Beastly Feast. Then we talked about table manners and practiced taking turns setting up a table. We are all ready to help our families with dinner time now! 

We also worked together to make a graph with our bodies. We read a story called How Does Your Salad Grow? and then talked about our favorite things to put on a salad. We used the squares on our carpet to make a graph. Celery was the favorite salad topping in our class.

Making a Graph

This week our math concept is learning about bar graphs. We created our own graph as a class today. Each child picked their favorite healthy drink and used a sticky note to mark it. After everyone voted, we discussed which one had the most votes and how we can make sure our answer is right.
