Our Week

This past week we spent some time enjoying the book, Cookie's Week. This book is hilarious! Cookie, a silly kitty, gets into trouble on each day of the week. As we read we discussed calendar concepts like yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The children loved seeing all of Cookie's crazy adventures.

We read Cookie's Week each day and then the children made their own "week" book. We talked about the things that we had done in class each day and the children were asked to draw a picture of something that they did that day either in class or at home and also write a sentence about it. I encouraged them to try and spell things on their own and I was really impressed! We are awesome writers!

Each day we spend time with our calendar. We discuss different upcoming events and important dates to remember. The children often will tell me that they have dance on Tuesdays and will always remind me that we have ice cream on Fridays. It is important for them to understand what the calendar means and why it is important. I always tell them how important it is in case they have somewhere to go or something to do. By working on our "week" books, they were thinking about their days and what each one means to them.

Be sure to check these out when they bring them home! They did a fantastic job!!
