We've had a blast this month! We started the month off by learning all about Winter. Then, we learned all about Penguins and Polar Bears.

The sensory bin was filled with fake snow and snowballs and winter trees, artificial snow and arctic animals were added to the block center. During our Math Groups, we continued to work on copying and extending patterns, following directions containing prepositions, number identification and counting. During our Literacy Groups, we worked on retelling stories, identifying letters and matching capital to lowercase letters and identifying letter sounds. We had fun with science and conducted 2 experi...
NOVEMBER Another month has flown by in the Plums Class!! During the month of November, we learned all about Fall and Turkeys. We worked hard on our math skills!

We read The Leaf Man and the st...
