We know how to graph!

This week in math we have been learning how to graph and to group objects using alike and different attributes. In science we have been using describing words in our science journals while writing about sea creatures. We learned very interesting facts, such as how an octupus shoots ink so he can hide and stay safe. During readers workshop we have been practicing rhyming and developing concepts of print. Our favorite song this week was "Rhyme and Move" by Jack Hartman! In writers workshop, we have been adding sight words to our writing such as "I see the..." At the Listening Center, our book on tape was "Aladdin" and our featured characters at the Dramatic Play Center this week were a dog and a lion! 

We are working with a partner to graph how many friends would want a guppy as a pet, and how many would want a goldfish as a pet.


In our math center we are working together to match a number, numbered dots, the number words, and a number of objects

In our math center we are matching the number/the number word with the number of objects. We are also practicing our sight words "I see."

In our science journals we are using descibing words to write about sea creatures. Wow! In this journal he used the describing words "smooth and sharp" to describe his sea creature. Great job!

We are authors too! We added our own class books that we wrote and illustrated to our bookshelf.

In the Reading Nook Center we are reading our classbooks

At the Magic Board Center our friend is doing an excellent job writing a story about her family and friends!

"Which one does not belong? How is it different than the others?" We are using "Math-Talk" to talk about our reasoning.
