Mrs. Rivera's Class

We each colored a picture about computers. Mrs. Rivera made a class book with those pictures. We read the book together. A computer is a tool. A tool is something that helps you learn and work. The book was about how we use the computer as a tool. We made the letter P with play dough. The P stands for the /p/ sound. We talked about the word "a". We wrote our word "a". We went to the gym. We stood behind our spot and took turns jogging and doing push ups and sit ups and curl ups.

A tool is something that you can use to help you learn and work. A wrench helps you tighten screws. Scissors help you cut paper. A locker helps you hold your things. A glue stick helps you glue things together. Paint helps you make things look nice. A key opens doors. A screwdriver makes screws tighter or looser.

Ms. Nelson taught us today. She read us a story. We talked about it. Mrs. Rivera read a story. Ms. Nelson taught us how to sort. We got in a group and talked about the stories. We put words in a circles (Venn Diagram). If the stories were the same we put it in the circles that were together. Both stories were about using 5 senses.

The nose smells. You can smell the rain. You use your tongue to taste. You touch with your hands and skin. Your ears listen so you can hear. You can  see with your eyes.

We took pictures. We had to smile. Mrs. Rivera even took a picture. We played game. It was called Fan and Pick. We had to pick a card from the fan. We took turns saying the sight word on the card. The words were: I can the we see

We went to the auditorium. We sat down. We stuck our feet in a container. People washed our feet. It was cold water. It tickled but it felt good. We talked to them. They asked us questions like "Do you read books?" We got new shoes. We said "Thank you!" We gave them hugs and said goodbye. It made us happy.

We said our favorite animal. We wrote about the animal. We drew our favorite animal. We read a story about a kangaroo. The story was named Pouch! We acted out how animals move. We pretended to be animals. We put cards in our chart. All the cards began with the 'a' sound. We are studying the letter A this week.

We rolled a die. We looked at the number. Then we used counters to make the number we rolled on the five frame.

We went to the library. We watched a movie. We talked about the different parts of the books. The front cover, the back cover, the spine, the title, and pages are all parts of a book. We played in the classroom. We read books, played with play doh, stuck magnet letters on the board,  and got on computers. That is called Literacy Stations. Today was a good day.

Today we talked about how to be a good friend. We can play nicely with a friend. We can read stories with a friend. We can share with a friend. We can be good to a friend.
