Oo is for ostrich, otters, octopus, ovals and octagons.  The students' cutting skills are improving everyday!  We really had a lot of fun playing red light green light with our octagon and oval shapes we cut out and colored!  Especially since it has snowed all week... keeping us inside!  We continued our pattern practice by turning our octopus legs into a pattern.

Unifix cubes gave us some great practice making AB patterns. We also celebrated Presidents Day by making a George Washington and Abe Lincoln to go along with our Chant!

Letter P preschool projects...

A mom donated pumpkins for the class, so we decorated them with elmers glue, glitter and eyes.  The kids love it! Be careful where you display them though, rain will wash all the glitter off!  We had a Pp party where the students each brought in an item that started with a Pp such as pringles, popcorn, pop tarts, pudding, pickles... The kids went PAZERK in the pirate hats!

We did a lot of stamping this week to practice AB patterns. We used the spider hands to put in their learning portfolio for the month of October.  We also created a short formative set of closed sentences for the kids to answer. Which will also go in their learning portfolio.  We asked questions like... My name is_____,  my favorite color is _____,  my favorite food is______, I like to play_____, I like school because_______, For Halloween I want to be a ____, my friends are ________ The answers came out so cute, we decided to start doing them monthly.
