We've been having so much fun getting our room Halloween Ready (and doing some fun learning along the way!) On Tuesday, Mrs. McIntosh did some whole-group OT work with us along with Mrs. Dukeman. We were working on working quietly, following directions, and strengthening our fine motor skills as we watched Mrs. McIntosh show us ho to make a pipe cleaner spider without using ANY words! We silently watched as she showed us how to to each step, and then it was our turn to make our own spider at our seats.
Everyone did such a great job following directions, and respectfully asking questions quietly to a teacher if they weren't sure what to do next or if they needed help with a step.
These little guys are now scurrying all across our classroom!
Later in the week, we got to have some practice mixing colors as we made our Secondary Owls made entirely out of secondary colors!
Finally, we got to make some creepy, crawly Place Value Spiders to hang in the hallway! We've been learning a lot about place value in math over the last few weeks, and it was time to put our learning to the test! But the giraffes showed off their place value skills with ease as they expanded their numbers, wrote their name in words, drew them using base-ten shorthand, and found numbers that were greater than and less than their chosen number.
Well, Done, Giraffes!
