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.Then we made the life cycle of a pumpkin using art supplies.  

Our poem this week was called The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

The itsy bitsy spider 
crept up on ____'s head
 He wiggled all around 
then used it for a bed.
He scampered down (his/her) back 
and hopped down to the floor.
Then that itsy bitsy spider 
squeezed underneath the door.

Our Weekly Reader was all about Pumpkins and the different ways to use them.

Math

This week our focus in math was comparing numbers 0-10. We are using words like more than or fewer 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?
