Letter X

Since we are learning a little more about Texas this week in SS... I came up with a roping game to learn our NEW sight words for this 6 weeks! They will try to rope a steer and drag it in.... after they pinned it... the child and their partner will try to figure out the word!


Math- Last week of Studying #'s 15-20...in this game the kids will toss the soap on the "germ" # they know... if they get it right they get to put that many green boogies (green beads) on the germ (gross? yes... but its kinder!!) They go until they can recognize all the #'s and their germs are full!

Various spinner, Bingo and Dice games to review #'s 15-20!



Social Studies- How is Dublin different than other communities in Texas? We will be taking a closer look at the different regions of Texas and what makes them special!

Science- Continue our study on How We Live and Grow. We will be focusing on Germs and washing our hands. (Notice the cute "germ" sacks in each workstation.)

ELAR- In each germ sack there are letters (capital and lowercase) and puncuation to create words and sentences. After they have created a sentence they will transfer it onto paper...making sure they start the sentence with a capital letter, have spaces between each words and end the sentence with the correct punctuation mark! Also in Elar this week, we will be continuing our study on different forms of media and finalize our drafts from last week.
