This week our theme unit was "All About Me". We learned how special and unique each one of us are. We read lots of stories. Some were silly, some were fact books, and some were about different feelings we may have. Our favorite story was "Clap Your Hands" because it was an interactive book. Over the course of the week we created graphs. We talked about how graphs give us information about things or people and they are easy to read. I asked the kids which was their favorite and I think the majority liked the eye pie graph. We graphed our eye color, the number of letters in our names, our hair color, and if we are a boy or girl. These graphs were meaningful to us because we learned things about the boys and girls in our classroom. Creating graphs was also a new math skill this week.
During our "All About Me" unit we made these cute little people. We used the first letter in our name and had to think of something that had the same beginning sound as our own name. This activity spins off the book, "A My Name is Alice".
We also made TLC style boys and girls. I love this activity. They always turn out so cute. The neat thing about TLC is that everyone gets the same directions, but they all turn out a little different. (See pictures below) Enjoy!
