Apples on Top!

It is hard to believe that today is already Wednesday. This week is flying by. 

In Language Arts today we practiced reading short vowel words and our sight words. We played the game "I Have, Who Has". We also worked in our literacy centers today. 

In Math, we practiced counting to 23 using a wrap-up. A wrap-up is a Math manipulative that looks like a set of keys. Using a string, the students wrap their way to 23. We will continue to use wrap-ups throughout the year especially when we begin learning our Math facts. 

Our apple activity today centered around fun things to do with apples. We read the book Ten Apples Up on Top by Dr. Seuss. In the book, the characters balance apples on their heads without dropping them. We used that idea but with a twist. Students drew a picture of themselves at the bottom of paper. Then using apples, they stamped an apple into paint and stamped apples on top of their heads. Here is how on picture turned out: 


Please remember that our Spelling test is tomorrow since we do not have school on Friday.
