Name Writing

This week during our stations we are focusing on correctly writing the letters in our name. This activity has them counting the letters in their name, arranging the letters in their name in order and then writing them the correct way. It is a great way to differentiate and meet all ability levels in the classroom.Here are a few examples.

Happy Halloween

We had a very busy week celebrating Halloween in our classroom. On Monday and Tuesday we made Monster Mush with our buddies and then did a counting activity to go along with it. See recipe below. Then on Wednesday and Thursday we had some Halloween fun in our AWESOME costumes!

During the week of Halloween, we will be making Monster Mush, and we need your help!
We are asking each family to contribute to our Monster Mush by sending the highlighted item to school by Tuesday October 22nd. If you are unable to purchase your item please let me know.
We will be making Monster Mush with our buddies and then will complete a math graphing activity as we each our spooky snack! We will be making Monster Mush to help us celebrate during our Fall Celebration. Some skills we will use while making it are; counting, following directions, sorting, measuring, fine motor, taking turns, and patience.
Thank you for all of your help!
