Hello Fall!

 

Hello Families!!


This week we read the story Hello Fall! throughout the week and did many fun connecting activities together! We began our week with our introduction do our new vocabulary. Some friends cut & pasted their vocabulary while other wrote their new vocabulary words.




We then practiced sorting leaves by size and by color!



As a class we read an emergent reader and then followed directions and colored the leaves different colors according to the sentences. It was so great to already see improvements with the students' coloring and grasp- it's only been two weeks working on these skills!





As a fun connecting activity we did leaf rubbings- each student was able to choose 2-3 leaves to do their rubbings with. I love all the colors they used, it was a fun activity to do together!








In our story they raked leaves into a pile- so we made our own rake (thanks to Mrs. G!) and everyone practice raking leaves into a pile! It was a fun and different hands on activity!




               



We sorted different fall and winter activities. It was a great exposure to the different activities to participate in by season and also had to work on cutting, sorting, and correct placement of pictures!







Have a great day!!

The Butterfly Life Cycle

Hello Families and Friends! Last week we read about the butterfly life cycle! We read a story, completed a vocabulary activity, then sorted butterflies, cocoons and caterpillars, made a life cycle wheel, an adapted book and then did a comprehension check-in. The students did an excellent job learning about this new information.                   We also completed a Scholastic News article "When a Rainbow Shines". The students were very engaged in the article and used their individualized communication boards and systems to be able to identify the two things needed to make a rainbow: water & sun. Some friends used objects while learning to represent the sun, water and rainbows!       Reminders:  Thursday March 21st the school will be celebrating World Down Syndrome Day! We are celebrating our friend Tyler by wearing crazy socks and showing our love, support and...

Pumpkin Fun!

  Hello Families! We had an awesome week and started our pumpkin unit in celebration of Halloween! We read a story all about pumpkins and learned when they grow, who grows them and the different parts of a pumpkin. Together we did a vocabulary activity, sorting activity, counting book, explored the inside of a pumpkin and did a fun craft together! They all loved being able to explore the different sized pumpkins while we read to make real life connections to our book! Below our friends are working on sorting by size, color and their vocabulary pages! They did a great job with their counting book- we practiced following one step directions, 1:1 correspondence, number ID, writing numbers, cutting and gluing.  On Wednesday we explored the inside of a pumpkin! Everyone explored the pulp and seeds. Some friends enjoyed the different textures while others didn't, however everyone did a great job quickly exploring and touching.  We used the seeds from our pumpkin to create a fun...

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves!

Hello Families! This week we read the story "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves". I created our own "old lady" to feed the different objects to. The students practiced identifying vocabulary, working on the core word "in", and following simple one step directions. We completed our vocabulary activity, made our own adapted book and completed an emergent reader about leaves to connect with our story.    On Monday there was a fire safety assembly and we were able to see a real fire truck too! We've officially started our classroom jobs! These are done daily, each child has the same job for the whole week so that they can master that specific skill set before moving onto the next job. Here's our hard workers in action!! To wrap up our fun Friday, we did a Scholastic News titled "Cooking Up Safety". It was about being safe around hot objects. It was a great lesson for life skills to learn what is safe or not safe to touch.  Next w...
