Wed Apr 25th- More creatures under the sea

Our great day started with a curvy scissor practice page. I had foam blocks, trains and magnetic letters to play with. I got some work done with a student that was absent during this time. After clean up, we said the pledge, counted to 30 as we swam forward to 15 and then backwards to 30 in AM and . We also practiced our Spanish to 20. The star and I helped the class review the color words. Starting next week, all the color words will be in black so they will need to recognize the word not just the color of it. The class and I reviewed the date and figured out how many more days are in April. We sang our calendar songs in Spanish and then we sang our spring song and listened to the summer song which we will start to learn next week. The star helped in dressing our weather friend and the class and I sang and reviewed the weather of the day. For letter time, we boogied to the ABCs and practiced our signs and reviewed our sight words. After that we wiggled, ate our snacks and explored the April books for the last time. Our star shared their show and tell and then we got right into our lesson of the day which is reviewing the rest of our creatures of the ocean- sharks, swordfish, giant squid and manta rays. We discussed each one and then I finished reading the Magic School Bus book we had started on Monday. We practiced all the actions of the animals- opening and closing our arms like a shark, flying through the water like a manta ray, shooing up and down like a squid and having a long “sword” nose like a sword fish. At the table, I had blue paper and lots of ocean creature stickers and they each created their own ocean scene. Once they completed that project, we came back and reviewed our sight words of the week and then packed up for going to the park. We had a fun time there and then we were done for the week!
