To start off the week we decorated our shoebox libraries and took them home. Parents remember to remind your students to put any books that come home in their shoebox library. The books in your child's library can be counted for their daily reading. Teachers, if you would like to have your class make their very own My Shoebox Libraries click the link.
Then we learned about my favorite color...PINK! We sang the pink song and built the color word in our Build the Color Words book. This book can be found in my August Centers Galore pack on TPT.
We also read, Pinkalicious for the color pink. The students love this book. After reading the book we colored Pinkalicious and "frosted" pink cupcakes. This page is part of our Color Word book. The books will be coming home as soon as we are done with all of the color words.:)
To "frost" the cupcakes we used shaving cream and pink food coloring. We mixed the frosting together as a class in a gallon sized Ziploc bag. When the students were done coloring I put some frosting on their cupcake. They used a popsicle stick to spread the "frosting". We had a lot of fun with the color pink.
Our shape for the week was Sammy the Square. We sorted squares and not squares on this chart. Then we counted how many squares we had and how many not squares we had. This chart is part of my 2D Shape Fun pack.
We worked on rhyming words, and since it was apple week we had to throw apples in. We all had a piece of an apple puzzle, and had to find the friend with the other half that rhymed with our picture. Then we went to our tables and colored apples red if the pictures rhymed or yellow if they did not rhyme. This activity is part of my September Centers Galore pack. I apologize for the sideways picture.
The number for the week was #2. I can't believe how well the students are doing on their number books. Actually I can believe it, I have smart kids in my class this year. :) This poster is part of my A 0-20 Student Number Book on TPT.
What a great week! Thanks for stopping by.:)
