Last Week's Activities

          Last week we learned about the pilgrims. We read books and learned more what life was like for pilgrim children. We then discussed the similarities and differences between our class and pilgrim children. We also painted pilgrims (which turned out really cute) and began making our placemats for our Thanksgiving feast on Tuesday. In addition, we began informational writing by explaining how to catch a turkey.
          In math last week we learned how to estimate the capacity, identify and locate numbers on a hundred number chart, and identify the even numbers to 20. We also practiced the addition and subtraction facts.
          In science last week we completed the pumpkin unit and began our study of the moon. Starting last Thursday, we started handing out the moon bag. Each child will take a turn observing the moon and recording its appearance in our Moon Observation Log. Please remember to return the log to school the next day so another child may have a turn.
