Letter Mm & Number 13

We had such a fun week learning about letter Mm!  We started the week by reading Marvin the Monkey and singing silly songs about monkeys.  We read the beautiful book, " The Mitten" by Jan Bret.  We retold the story and then made our own colorful mittens.  We learned all about the number thirteen.  We also had a great time working with M & M's in our Math Center counting them and making patterns with them. On Wednesday and Thursday we had fun M & M Math days.  We all had our own M &M's that we first sorted by color and then graphed.  This class had the most blue M &M's!  On Thursday we worked on making patterns. We each received a pattern card and had to match the candies to the pattern and determine what color would finish the pattern.  We then were able to make our very own patterns and of course eat some M &M's! On Friday, we read our Scholastic books about shadows and watched a video about shadows.  We learned how to make shadows and made our own!  We also read about book about Groundhogs Day and made groundhog crafts.

Please look out for some more information about Valentine's Day, our 100th Day celebration, and
parent conferences soon.  Our meeting in school was delayed due to the snow day.
