This week we studied grasshoppers. Honestly, I wasn't all that excited about this topic. I can't say we have ever seen a grasshopper near our house. But, then learning it not just about what we see all the time so I decided that we would stick with the grasshopper theme. I think we all learned something new this week! Here is a glimpse at our week!
|We explored how grasshoppers move through music and movement. They loved doing this!|
|One of this weeks centers for Dominic was sorting bugs by color (the bug collection included grasshoppers).|
|Ava used the same bugs to complete different types of patterns.|
|Here is a pattern she created all by herself without any help. I was excited to see how complex the pattern was. Last year her own patterns would have been simple AB patterns. Amazing what a year will do!|
|I kept the same sensory table open this week. Something new coming for next week!|
|This weeks sight word was can. Here is one of her sight word works. She used gems to build the letters in the word.|
|Dominic wanted to give this work a try too!|
|Ava practiced her sight word in her journal as well. She needed to illustrate a picture of a grasshopper and write what grasshoppers can do. She wrote, "Grasshoppers can jump."|
|She reviewed all the sight words so far by using dry erase markers to copy the words. Using these markers is something she loves to do.|
Next week we will explore leaves!
