Greatness me, it is the letter G! Our theme for the week was glasses. Our books were: My "g" Sound Box by Jane Belk Moncure, Gymnastics by Cynthia Klingel, Curious George Margaret and H.A. Rey, and Georgie by Robert Bright. Our vocabulary words were: go, God, good, great, and grapes.
Our poem of the week was:
Good Luck Gold
By Janet S. Wong
When I was a baby
One month old,
My grandparents gave me
Good luck gold:
A golden ring
So soft it bends,
A golden necklace
Hooked at the ends,
A golden bracelet
With coins that say
I will be rich
And happy someday.
I wish that gold
Would work real soon,
I need my luck
This afternoon.
The sentences we wrote were:
See the swan swim?
The stars shine bright.
The snake slides.
Seashells by the sea.
We took some time counting to 23 and practicing recognizing numerals, written numbers and identify groups of objects and how many were in each group. We also looked at the color green in Seeing Green All Around Us by Sarah L. Schuette.
Our Bible verse was "Every good and perfect gift is from above." James 1:17 Our Bible story was Samson.
In Social Studies time we read about Mohandas Gandhi by John Barraclough, Georgia by Lisa Owings. This book was a little advanced for A and E but good to skim and pull out bits of information. We also read about Jane Goodall by Jo S. Kittinger.
Goats by Emily K. Green and Gorillas by Mari Schuh were great for our science time. We also worked on increasing vocabulary by looking at and identifying: gorilla, gulper eel, gopher, goose, geranium, and goldenrod.
