Things to talk about at home:
Vocab words like herbivores, omnivores, carnivores
Biggest to smallest
Letter H word/sound recognition- Point out everyday items that start with H!
So first I apologize because I have no pictures. My camera was sitting on the counter all morning and we were having such a good time (I think I was covered in glue today!) that I didn't even think about the camera. We started the morning out by discussing volcanoes and if they were real and still exist. It was a very interesting conversation as most of the kids did not think there were still real volcanoes. We then made our own paper volcano with red tissue paper. The students took squares of tissue paper, squished them up, and glued them to the top. It looked something like this:
After snack and outside play time we spent the majority of our morning discussing biggest and smallest. I'm really sad I forgot to take pictures here because we played a fun game of the students acting out who was biggest and who was smallest, including one child curling up into a small ball.
After going over the concept they cut out different sized dinosaurs and then glued them in order from biggest to smallest. We then enjoyed circle time and discussed how it was the first day of October (which I'm told is Halloween-tober). We ended class time with Count the Monkeys by Mac Barnett which is a great and funny book to reinforce number recognition. We also discussed which number was biggest-10 and which was smallest-0.
