Today was full of fun and excitement as Thanksgiving Day gets closer and closer! To get into the spirit, we went on a "Turkey Hunt" today! Different colored turkeys, with sight words written on them were hidden around our room. We had to search for the turkeys, read, and write our sight words onto our recording sheet. We met our learning target: I can read and write my sight words!
We also searched our Albuquerque the Turkey poem for sight words. We highlighted words we know by sight on our white board, and then went back to our seats to make our own customized version, highlighting our own personal sight words that we know. These poems will be coming home tomorrow in poem notebooks!
This afternoon we met with Mrs. Board for our last Art Adventure. We discussed a piece of art that was uncovered from the city of Pompeii. We learned about volcanoes, talked about the art, and discussed our upcoming field trip to the art museum.
In math this afternoon we worked on symmetry turkeys. We painted one side of our paper, folded it together and SMOOSHED it-making the turkey's feathers! What fun! We discussed how when two sides match, they have symmetry. (Learning Target :))
During our calendar time we are working on generating and asking questions to the class. The ability to ask questions is a life skill! Madeline asked some great questions today-with awesome compliments to her classmates too!
Tomorrow we have some more turkey activities in store! I can't wait!
Love,
Mrs. Huettl
