Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Welcome back to our Classroom Blog! :)

We have successfully completed week 2 of Kindergarten and with that our theme of "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom"!

In math this week we were learning about numbers 1 and 2.  We practiced counting them, writing them, and making them! I use the curriculum provided by our district called "Go Math".  I also input supplementary worksheets and activities to go along with Go Math.

We also started doing Problem Solving using story problems.  The story problems right now are using the skill of reasoning. Yesterday our story problem was about two children who were buying a toy.  They were looking at 5 different toys (all were vehicles of some sort).  They were given 3 clues as to what the toy was that the children wanted to buy and they had to figure it out.  We are doing them as a whole group right now, but eventually they will be doing them on their own.

Throughout the week we read several books including: "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom", "Chicka Chicka 123" and "The Numberlys".  I love all three of these books!

I was most excited for Friday to make our silly Chicka Chicka Boom Boom hats! I found a template for it online and was so excited about it!

Some of the letters didn't stick very well, but overall they turned out really cute! If I was not able to put your child's together-they should have gotten all the materials to finish it at home! We ran out of time and some children work slower than others.

Next week our them will be "Brown Bear, Brown Bear". It shall be another fun week!

Enjoy your weekend,
