Review what we mean by traditions. Watch Brain Pop Jr. video about Halloween and talk about what things Libby does for Halloween: dressing up, doing trick or treat vs trunk or treat and what each are. Finally, tell what is her favorite part of Halloween.
Today, Libby began working on the Topic 3 assessment which focused on the skills necessary for accurate counting and the counting sequence of the numbers 6 to 10. Libby answered questions on number sequences and the one-to-one principle, visually picturing quantities relating to a 5 or 10 frame, cardinality of a group of objects, and counting on. Libby has done great so far and will continue over the next couple of days.
Libby completed her interactive calendar. She listened to and discussed a video about Bats. She made a bat and a flip booklet about bats. She read and discussed her vocabulary words.
Libby used Play Doh and cookie cutter letters to spell short vowel words. She used the chalkboard and chalk markers for practice. On writing paper, she practiced her short vowel words. I read Mo Willems books to her.
Libby worked on an 'All About The United States' book. Words were cut out and then pasted to create sentences about the number of states, the location of the Capital, and the national bird and flower. Libby also watched a correlating video about the United States while she began to color the book's pages which she will complete tomorrow.
To begin, Libby practiced writing the numbers 1 through 10 while focusing on proper technique. Then, she worked on ordering the numbers 1 through 10, finding the number that is 1 less than and 1 greater than a given number, and counting forward from a number. Then, Libby colored and counted objects before writing how many.
This morning, Libby practiced writing the numbers 1 through 10 using proper technique. Today's lesson focused on using problem-solving skills to help look for and use counting patterns. Libby worked online with the lesson's interactive visual learning tool to show counting patterns for groups of objects. While working, Libby used 2 different colored counters to model problems and show the different ways to make totals.
