Sense of Hearing

In science, today we focused on the sense of hearing. First we past a few containers around. Using only our sense of hearing, we predicted what was inside. Some cans were harder than others! Then, we played Animal Sounds Bingo. The children worked together to figure out what animal sound they heard. It was fun listening to all of the different sounds the animals made.

We also learned the Orange song today. It is sung to the tune of "10 Little Indians." It goes:
O-R-A-N-G-E
O-R-A-N-G-E
O-R-A-N-G-E
Orange is what that spells.
Jack-o-lanterns are always orange.
Carrots are always orange.
Oranges are always orange.
O-R-A-N-G-E

Find A First Grade Friend Who Likes..

Today we went on a scavenger hunt to find first grade friends who likes...
... the playground
... carrots
... seeing a movie
... swimming
... answering the phone
... riding a bike.
It was such a good way for use to get to know each other and learn how to spell each other's names.

We also had a lot of fun playing the card game Compare. The children took turns each turning over one card from their deck and comparing them with their partner. The one with the highest number got to keep the cards. They really enjoyed playing this game.

We also learned the "Red" song. It is sung to the tune of "Are You Sleeping?"
R-E-D, red
R-E-D, red
I can spell red.
I can spell red.
Fire trucks are red.
Stop signs are red, too.
R-E-D.
