Apparently the germs are taking over our school! Last week we had students out of our classroom every day because they were sick. One day we had 7 students out, leaving us with only 5 in class. That has to be a record low! It seems like everyone is not quite all better yet, but we have more children today and I'm glad to see some sick friends back with us. I've been Clorox wiping and Lysol-ing EVERYTHING to try and get rid of these germs! I hope everyone gets feeling better and can be back with us later on in the week :)
This week we are studying about our teeth. February is Dental Health month. We will be learning about how to brush and take care of our teeth and also reading some funny tooth stories from Tooth Tales From Around the World.
This Week's Centers:
Technology: Students can learn about going to the dentist at http://www.ada.org/public/games/marty.asp. Students use the smart board to navigate through this tooth adventure!
Art: Draw a picture of the tooth fairy. This allows students to have a little creative and imagination time!
Alphabet: Fishing for Letters. Students take turns fishing out letters to make 3 letter words. After they fish out the letters, they write the words in their journals and sound them out. This activity reinforces handwriting as well as letter sounds.
Listening: At listening this week students are playing a rhyming game on CD. It is a bingo game where the CD calls out a word and the students look on their cards to see if they have a word that rhymes. This is reinforcement to go along with what we have been doing in phonics.
