Little Pumpkins Hard at Work



We continued having fun with pumpkins this week! We read the story, The Five Little Pumpkins and learned about ordinal numbers!  We had fun acting out the story using our bodies, felt pieces (thank you, Anne Hicks-Bleecker!) and our magic board.  Ask your child to read it to you at home!

We played a game, Roll-a-Pumpkin, to practice counting and reading numbers.

Roll-a-Pumpkin!


Another pumpkin math activity was Pumpkin Measuring! The students used different items such as cubes, bear counters, and tiles to measure different sized pumpkins.

Measuring pumpkins! Charlie made it into an AB pattern!

In math, we've been learning about "tens" and "ones".  This is a great introduction to place value!

Zoe sorts "tens" and "ones" base ten blocks

Every week, we make a page for our Star of the Week's special book! We practice using uppercase and lowercase letters appropriately, spacing between words, sight words, phonetic spelling, and punctuation!  

Alison made a beautiful page for Zayne, our Star of the Week!
