I apologize for getting this out a little late!  We have finished up our author study.  We read If you Give a Moose a Muffin and If You Give A Pig a Pancake.  I am so  proud of my class.  It is amazing to see how far they have come.  During center time, we are learning to sit for longer  periods of time, raising our hand to have a turn to talk, and listening when it’s not our turn to talk.  During this author study, these books provided us with several new vocabulary words, and we also used prediction skills as they had to finish the sentences, “If you give a moose a muffin, he’ll want some____ to go with it”.  They were great about recalling events in the story to finish the sentence.  

Math:  We finished up our unit on shapes.  We made a graph of shapes.  In the graph we identified each shape, counted how many of each shape were on our graph, and determined which one had more and which one had less.  All of my students were able to identify all 5 shapes receptively (pointing to them when I named them), and almost everyone could identify expressively (naming) at least 3 out of the 5 shapes.  Way to go!!

Science:  We enjoyed some science cooking experiences throughout the unit as well.  During these experiences we had to mix and measure ingredients.  We noticed how the properties of the ingredients changed when we mixed and baked.  They enjoyed creating their own Moose Munch for snack.  

THANK YOU THANK  YOU!  PAT night at Murfin’s was a HUGE success!  You all brought in over $600 for our program.  A...MA...ZING!!!  We will be purchasing books to support our early literacy program as well as more diapers for our diaper bank.  I am so blessed to live and work in this small community with so much support.  You guys ROCK!!!
