The children worked on filling a few pattern block designs with different shapes. They practiced counting the number of blocks used in the picture and writing the number to represent the total. They played a game called “Fill the Hexagon” and noticed different ways to fill that shape using smaller pattern blocks. They also made shape murals before break which are hanging in the hallway near the classroom.

Science 

The children shared what their animal needs in order to live and created habitats during Integrated Arts. They also learned about mammals during literacy time. They learned what makes an animal a mammal, what baby mammals do, and different life cycles of mammals. We will learn about birds and reptiles next week.
