This week was R week with Rainbows, Rockets, and Robots as our themes. We also welcomed a new student, Dayne, welcome to ABC!

Tuesday was Rainbow day. We started the day playing with toys. In morning centers, we practiced writing upper and lowercase R for writing, did our R cutting page for phonics, made number rainbow towers for math, and colored our own rainbow in rainbow order. For art class, we made our own rainbows with name clouds and colored strips. They are hanging up in our classroom. and look great next to our classroom rainbow. For afternoon centers, we talked about rainbow fish and sharing and did a writing page about what we like to share and how it makes us feel. We also did rainbow domino towers and played with colored blocks. At the end of the day, we had story time and did some makeup work.

Wednesday was Rocket day and we had our first Specials. We started the day reading books. Then we had our first Specials. The kids rotated through our all day classrooms. My room is phonics so they learned letters and sounds along with our Zoophonics video and cards. We learned about Ally Alligator, Missy Mouse, and Robby Rabbit for our 3 letters we learned so far. They also got to go to Spanish, Science, and Sign Language. In afternoon centers, we did some more writing practice with the letter R, made name Rockets, played a rocket roll and build game, and did a rocket color by number. At the end of the day, we went outside and played stomp rockets! They had so much fun with this!

Thursday was Rectangles and Robots day. We started the day coloring a robot. In morning centers, we traced robot lines and colored the robot, we wrote R’s and shapes on our big board, played roll a robot game with dice and tangrams, and made a rectangle robot with different size rectangles. In afternoon centers, we did a trace, color, and cut activity, put together a rhyming puzzle, wrote numbers and shapes on the big board, and for our fine motor activity we picked up pom poms with tweezers and put them onto our robot mat. At the end of the day, we had story time and did some makeup work.
