January 17-20

It was quite the week at WIPP!

We learned about letter Qq, letter Zz and enjoyed Pajama Day!

We painted q-tip quilts.

We also read the book Quilt Counting and created our own colorful class quilt.

 In our math center, we learned that a pattern is something that repeats itself. We enjoyed creating our own patterns with snowmen noses (carrots) and predicting patterns with our colorful bears.

 

We concentrated on letter recognition and practiced our writing skills by filling our writing trays with cocoa mix. It was fun and smelled delicious!

Our reading glasses helped us read about animals that hibernate. We learned that bears, bats, ladybugs, and chipmunks hibernate, but humans do not. 

 

We also learned about the letter Zz and made our very own zig-zag patterns for our toy cars to drive on.

Outside fun with our friends!

Friday was Pajama Day!

 We snuggled up by our friends and enjoyed some popcorn and a movie.

  

 What a fun week at WIPP!

 

January 9-13th

This week we had fun with Water, Ice and Snow!

We opened up our January sensory bin and searched for letters in the "snow".

 In one of our math centers we practiced ordering numbers and decorating snowman with the correct amount of buttons. 

We used ink pads and stamps to practice letter recognition for some of our winter letters.

We learned about the letter Ww and read a book titled When Water Freezes.  After we read our book together, we took a first hand look at frozen water.

 

With no chance of snow in the forecast, we decided to make our own snow.  Ms. Didi helped us get our measurements right so we could play in "snow".

 

  

Letter Ii is for ice, icicles, and igloo!

Our ordering skills were tested as we lined up some "icicles" from shortest to longest.  

We also read, built and wrote the letter Ii.

 

On the rug center we had fun playing in our "igloos" with our friends.

 

 

We ended our week with an ice painting activity and a snow cone snack! 

 

 

 

This week was "snow" much fun!!!!!
