THings that make you go TH!!!

We learned all about a new sound today!! 

TH

Such an important sound and not always the easiest to master!
We used a bike pump to help us remember the sound that TH makes... and boy did we have fun with that!!



Look at them all saying the TH sound as hard as they can! I love it!

How many words do you know that use the sound TH??!

Counting and Measuring!

We explored measuring with different types of units today!

We used many different items around the classroom and recorded our findings!
 Using one-to-one correspondence, we were able to count the items we used to measure!
We found that some of the items we counted with could be measured with different ways. 
 COUNTING on our FINGERS AND TOES!

We used cubes to help us count today... we found there were many different ways to show one number. We stacked them up, compared the stacks, and even put them on our fingers and toes!

Vowels and Shadows!!

Vowels are important letters!
There's a vowel in EVERY word!

Lets see if we can make new words by putting a vowel in the middle of two consonants!

Going on a VOWEL HUNT!

 Did Mr. Punksatawny Phill see his shadow on Ground Hog's Day??
Why, YES he did!
6 more weeks of winter!

We decided it would be pretty fun to take a look at our own shadows....
