ECC and PPCD Adventures
January 20, 2015
Weather Fun
Our students have loved paying close attention to the weather the last few weeks. They enjoy discussing the temperature and looking out for the sun and rain. This week we will use that interest to read and write about the types of weather, complete weather related science experiments, and graph the weather we see this week.
Welcome Ms. Chris!
We are excited to welcome Ms. Chris to our classroom! She is from Texas A&M - San Antonio and will be completing her student teaching with us for the next 7 weeks.
LAST WEEK'S ADVENTURES
Giant Pizza
Students worked together to create a giant pizza made from paper. They enjoyed coming up with different toppings to create and then choosing what shape/color to use to make it!
Alphabet Mural
Each group was given a long strip of paper with a section of the alphabet. After reading an alphabet book, we added letters, drawings, words, and stickers to make an alphabet mural.
Pizza Delivery Race
Delivering pizzas was a favorite activity from this week! At large group students practiced balance and spatial awareness while delivering pizzas to a friend or teacher.
Button Pizza
Students practiced counting skills by creating play dough pizzas and adding button toppings. Students enjoyed ordering pizzas from each other asking for a specific number of toppings.
Writing Journal
Many students chose to draw a pizza in their writing journals this week. We provided dice with various pizza toppings drawn on them. Students rolled the dice and drew on their pizza whatever topping they landed on.
Pizza Delivery
During work time students enjoyed building pizza delivery vans. Students worked together to assign various each other jobs such as driver, pizza maker, pizza delivery person.
