Letter M

Magnificent letter M! Our theme for the week was moon. Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin was really good for explaining the moon phases and when they can be seen during the day. The Mitten by Jan Brett and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff are always fun.  Munch! Muncha! Muncha! by Candace Fleming was a fun book we read this week. Our vocabulary words for the week were: mouse, monkey, music, mirror, moon, mitten and mountain.

We had some fun sentences this week to write:

The mice saw the men.
The manatee moved!
Mommy went marching.
Smell the marigolds.
I went to the moon.
We moved on Monday.

Our poem is one of my favorites and went well with our theme this week:

I see the moon
and the moon sees me.
God bless the moon
and God bless me.

When I see the moon
and the stars so bright,
I thank the Lord
for day and night.

In our Bible time we read about Moses. Our Bible verse came from Colossians 3:2 "your minds on things above, not on earthly things."

 

For our math time we learned about All About Money by Erin Roberson. This book was great for introducing the values of the coins and did some early addition with coins. We also read Months by Robin Nelson. We also greatly enjoyed singing the months song.

Mars the Red Planet by Lincoln James

Face to Face with Manatees by Brian Skerry was one of our science books. The text was pretty dense and a little bit above A and E but it was good for pulling out bits of information to tell them about manatees. We also looked at mockingbird, moose, marigolds, manatees and muskrat.

We didn't do an art project to go along with the letter M. But we did make our own snowflakes to go along with this winter season.
