Our Week in Review - January 19 - 23

Holy. Cow. We were beyond busy this week! This week we read several versions of "The Three Little Pigs" and did *tons* of activities based on the book.

We started the week by reading "Huff and Puff." We acted as the big bad wolf and blew down the houses of the pigs. After we finished reading the book, students huffed and puffed and blew paint around to create awesome watercolor pictures!

Students also sequenced and retold the story.

On Friday we read "The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs" and graphed who we thought was telling the truth!

We made retell bracelets and told the story together with our friends. 

While we retold the story, we munched on The Three Pigs' straw, sticks, and bricks - yum!

Our Week in Review - January 5 - 16

Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed their 16 stay home days! Sorry for the late post!

Last week we graphed our favorite type of pizza. We didn't have time the Friday before break, so we finished up the Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza after :)

Lots of students also turned in their Little Red Hen Chore Chart for their reward!

We read several different versions of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." We spent a lot of time discussing how the spider is persistent. We brainstormed several ways that we are persistent. Then, students made a house with a water spout and an Itsy Bitsy Spider.

This week we focused on "The Three Bears." Again, we read several different versions of the story. First, we sorted hard and soft items and created a collage.

Then, we sorted the bowls, chairs, and beds and matched them with the correct character!

Finally, we made and retold the story!

PM PICTURES WILL BE POSTED TUESDAY - SORRY WE RAN OUT OF TIME!

Students have been working to earn spots on their ladybugs in the classroom. After they receive 5 spots they can trade them in for a special reward! You may see these coupons appear in your child's folder. Some of the choices require them to bring something from home, others are done in the classroom! Students are very extremely excited about their new rewards!
