Heart Healthy

Sorry that I didn't get this post out this weekend! Last week was all about staying healthy. On Monday we learned about eating fruits and vegetables to stay healthy. It is unanimous in my class that no, candy is NOT healthy. But having a piece of candy every once in a while won't hurt you. Tuesday was about staying healthy by staying active! We split up into teams for an exercise relay. The teams: Cheetahs vs. Ponies. The final score: Both too cute they all won!

On Thursday we had a real nurse come in! AKA my sister. She talked about washing hands properly and even let the students listen to their heartbeat!

She even gave them their own band aids to play with. We have a few students who are considering a career in nursing now! Major thanks to Sarah for coming in!

In phonics we learned about "b" and "p". Also, we have two new sight words, "love" and "orange". Everyone is doing great in the first steps in learning to read. I love to see their excitement in books and reading!

In math we are still working on recognizing numbers and left and right. We are starting to try to use words like "greater", "longer", and "taller" properly. Everything is going great!

The first week of fall was last week too! This means there will be plenty of fun fall crafts coming. This week was a thumb print tree. Anything with paint on fingers automatically means fun!

Also, I sent out all progress reports. I think I heard back from everyone, but if you didn't get an email please let me know! 

Coming up...

We are ending our unit on community workers and starting a unit on different types of book. This week will be about song books. We will have lots of music, instruments, and even a "campfire" on Thursday. Bring on the smores! Watch out for a new sight word coming home!
