We've been busy learning all month! Here are some of the highlights from each academic area:
Reading/Writing: With our Superkids, we've been learning letters and sounds. We now know the letters and corresponding sounds for c, o, g, a, d and s! Recently, we started blending letters together to make words. Sal is our current Superkid who loves sports...especially ones that start with 'S.' In writing, we are becoming great at drawing a picture story.
Math: We've been learning how to write numbers & understanding how many a number is. Lately, we've been working with the 5-group and using it to show 6, 7, 8 & 9. For example, 6 is 5 & 1.
Science: We have enjoyed the beautiful Fall Leaves! Using paper, we made our Fall Tree for our book. After tracing a leaf, we measured how tall & wide it was with cubes. We covered our leaf with cubes to see how many could fit on it. We started focusing on wood by doing an experiment to see how wood floats. We then added paper clips to the wood to determine which kind of wood would sink first. Next, we will be making our own plywood.
Social Studies: Our focus here has been learning about school: reviewing Tucker's Solutions, routines, school workers, tools and schools today and long ago.
