Handwriting
In handwriting this week we practiced the capital and lowercase letter Dd.

Reading
During our reading time we read the book Pumpkin, Pumpkin. This story introduced us to the life cycle of a pumpkin. The boy in the story Jamie watches a pumpkin seed turn into a giant pumpkin. We learned the vocabulary words observe, patient, scoop and enormous.

Our poem this week was called The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

The itsy bitsy spidercrept up on ____'s headHe wiggled all aroundthen used it for a bed.He scampered down (his/her) backand hopped down to the floor.Then that itsy bitsy spidersqueezed underneath the door.


Our Weekly Reader was all about Pumpkins.

Math
This week our focus in math was comparing numbers 0-10. We are using words like greater than or less than. This will help us order numbers as well as quantity discrimination (deciding which number is worth more or less). We did story problems such as Mom gave us a choice of two cookies or four cookies. Which group of cookies is more or greater? In math we also made spiders. We had to count 8 legs and write numbers 1-8 on them.
