This is my alien. The marbles and the toothpaste lids are the hair on my alien. The skin is very smooth and cold and made out of stones. My alien has two short pink legs. It also has spikes on her sides. She lives on a planet somewhere called planet Bong. This alien has come to visit me. I am going to play games with my alien. When we have finished playing my alien will go back home to her planet.
Alba has been persevering on her writing goal, which is to record the initial sounds of words. Today at library time, we read a story about a wolf who wanted to make Chicken Stew. The wolf baked lots of yummy food for the chicken to fatten it up. We wondered what delicious recipes we would bake if we were the wolf. In our workshop, we decided on a recipe we would cook if we were the wolf. This is Alba's recipe for Six Layer Cake. It has strawberries, butter and flour in it. Look at all those beginning sounds Alba has written down. Great work!
Alba has been really focused during Write to Self time. She has been copying out sentences from books that are in her learning box. She is even putting in the punctuation as well! You are a great author Alba!
I made these patterns.
I did dress patterns and I skipped numbers and I did coloured flowers in a pattern. I also did house patterns.
We learned about patterns at Friday Surprise day and I tried it at home.
For Friday Surprise Day, we continued our exploration into patterns. Today we used music to create a pattern. Can your child explain their pattern? Can you make a new pattern together?
Alba has been persisting on her Writing Goal of using resources to find words.
"I can use my word card to help me find letters and words. I can find words like on, is, the, and, like."
" And I can use my alphabet card to help me find letters like a for snake."
This is Alba's new goal. She is going to listen to and record the initial sounds of words. Fantastic goal setting Alba!
On our Friday Surprise Day we have been looking at a variety of houses and what makes them similiar and what makes them different. Our buddy and I made a house out of playdough. We didn't peek at our buddies house while we created them but when we finished we compared our houses. "Alba and Autumn's houses have a swimming pool but not Charley's house. Alba's house has a round big swimming pool and Autumn's pool is a oval shape. Alba's house is different because it has stairs to get to the top floor. Autumn and Charley's houses are the same because they have no stairs. Alba's and Autumn's houses have a few windows but Charley's house has more windows. Autumn's house is different because it doesn't have a chimney. Charley's house has window shutters but the others don't."
