In Math we reviewed our shapes and we played, Shape Bingo and Taj filled his board first. He was so excited. We also did a couple more and less skill sheets. The class is getting really good at understanding what more and less means and they are also learning what number is more and what number is less then another without having objects in front of them. And finally we always practice writing each number. The class is getting so good at writing the tricky numbers, like 2,3,4 and 5.

In Writing we worked really hard on letter sounds. We did some lessons where there were pictures and letters and the class had to sound out the picture and pick which letter connects with the picture.  Leah and Jack did really good with this lesson. We also worked on our letters of the week, which were Dd and Tt. These letters were pretty easy for the class to learn to write. We are now adding to our writing curriculum, not only writing the letters but also writing words that start with the letters of the week. The class is doing so wonderful at this challenge. 

We were busy in art this week. We made marshmallow teeth, sand art, drawing of our self and labeling our body parts including our mouth and teeth. We talked about what makes us smile and why our teeth are important to us and our smiles. 

In Health circle we talked about what is healthy for our teeth and how to keep our teeth clean and strong. We did an activity that helped the class understand what is healthy for our teeth and what is not, by circling the healthy choices and x-ing out the bad choices.  

We also had a local Dentist group come in and talk to the class about the tools they use at the dentist office, how to prevent cavities, what is good to eat for your teeth, and how fun it is to visit the dentist. 

In reading Ms. Stacy read the books, "Nice Try," "Lose that Tooth," "The Tooth Fairy," and "Going to the Dentist." The class was so interested in learning to keep their teeth clean and strong. 

In Music we learned the song, "Are you teeth clean and white" and balance beam walking! The class was really good at balancing. 

Great Week!
