Math
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, our math work this week had a Valentine’s Day theme. By combining one to one correspondence, numerals, words, and ten-frames on one activity, children have the opportunity to make connections between the different formats of numbers.
This week we used play-dough to work our fine motor skills.
We also worked on bar graphs. The children had to count different heart shapes and represent them by coloring each box to the corresponding number.
Science
This week we conducted a science experiment using heart shaped candy. We placed the candies in various liquids: water, vinegar, soda, and lime juice. Our question was: Which liquid will make the candy heart dissolve? The children made predictions, observed what was happening, and drew pictures of their predictions and outcomes.
Language & Literacy
Books we read this week: Mixed: A Colorful Story, Little Pea, The I Love You Book, Pete the Cat: Valentine’s Day is Cool, We Don’t Eat Our Classmates
Valentine’s Day
After all the excitement of the week, Valentine’s Day was finally here! The children handed out their gifts to their friends and then we enjoyed a berry smoothie and some cookies!
