Current Study: Trees Trees Family Letter carta familiar de estudio de arboles
Investigation: What food comes from trees?
Social Emotional Target: Following Directions
Mon: Today we looked at different foods from trees. We re-told Henny penny using velcro characters. We practiced using enviromental print, sorting foods from trees, and reading independently.
Tues: Today we learned so much! We made a list of food from trees that animals might eat and then found the foods that animals and people eat. We introduced Ziggy our a pet yoga buddy! Students used Ziggy to complete yoga poses on the cards provided. We talked about how Ziggy is used as a tool to help our body and not a toy. He helps us in the cozy corner. During small group we practiced rhyming, sorting, and quiet reading. During choice time we made lemonade! Students help squeeze the lemons, and poured in sugar and water. Later on we graphed if we liked the lemonade or not! We also watched a short clip about how chocolate is made from a cacao tree!
Wed: Today we enjoyed some fun indoor gross motor games! During choice time students peeled and chopped apples for the applesauce. Students then got a turn to press the blender buttons. At lunch time we tasted our applesauce. It was delicious. Later on we graphed if we liked the applesauce or not.
Thurs: Today we made smoothies! Students filled out a smoothie order form and got to pick the ingredients in their smoothies! We loved them so much, We made another graph to see who liked it and who didn't.
