Vocabulary we have learned: creature, imitate, companion, explore, generous, nuisance, energetic, exhausted, soar, tangled, snooze, drowsy, pedestrian, passenger, eager, assortment, enjoy, gooey, container, scrumptious, whirl, scramble, determined, proud, snatch, furious, comfort, welcome, allow, frustrated, decide, practice, filthy, slam, concerned, moan, observe, enormous, patient, scoop, uncomfortable, and comfortable.

We continued our poetry unit this week with the poem Lil Ole Elf.

There once was an elf

who sat on a shelf.

He watched girls and boys

to determine the toys

St. Nick would deliver himself!

Math

We continued our numbers unit this week. This week we worked on finding and reading the number 14. We also searched our classroom for the number 14. We have been working hard at reading the teen numbers. This week we played a matching game of teen numbers, sequenced numbers from 1-20 through various games, and practiced counting by 10s. As a group we practice counting by tens in the morning at calendar and during our group math time. During one of our games we had to say a number in order around a circle. If we landed on a ten we had to sit down. The last person standing was our tens champ. We have played this a couple of times but only counting from 1-50. We will soon be working on 1-100!
