Week of November 6^th, 2017

     All About Us

Goals for student understanding by the end of the unit:

·     I am unique; there is no one who looks, feels, thinks and acts exactly like I do.

·     I feel different ways at different times for different reasons.

·     I am part of a family and a classroom community.

·     My family is important and unique.

·     My classroom is a community.

·     All of the people in my class are important and unique.

·     I can help make my classroom a fun, safe and exciting place.

Lessons and activities for the unit:
Blocks-The student’s name cards will be available in block center. Students are invited to write their names using blocks, discussing the lines in each letter of their name (straight, curved, etc.)
Pretend Play- we are going to keep the diner set up from Unit Two, “My Five Senses.” Shift from focusing on what the children like and enjoy eating with family and friends.
Art- Various size shapes from construction paper will be cut out and students are invited to use the shapes to create their bodies. After gluing the shapes together, or to a piece of paper, children can use writing utensils to add additional details (hair, patterns on clothes, etc.).
Science- Students are invited to use magnifying glasses to explore fingerprints, skin, hair, etc.
Math- Small figures will be added to the math center. Students can sort and then count the figures and then use them for imaginative play.
Library- Students are encouraged to read a book with a friend. One child could read to the other or they could look at a book together.
- Weekly learning games on iPads are provided.
Sensory- Sand and water, or play-dough.
