Northeast Texas Children's Museum

We were blessed this week to have the opportunity to visit the Northeast Texas Children's Museum in Commerce, Texas. During our stay, we learned about wind and wind tunnels, farm animals, and bubbles. Then, we were treated to a plethora of learning stations where we played, explored, and observed our world around us. If you ever get the chance to visit this children's museum, take it...you will be glad you did! :)

Here is a show and some pictures of our fun day! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think! :)

All About Me Avatars

This week in Social Studies we have been talking about ourselves and our family. We created avatars that look like ourselves using the WeeMee app. You can see them in the show we created below. We then compared our eye color, hair color, etc. and talked about how we are alike and different.

Comparing Numbers 1-5

In math this week, we played many different games that allowed us to compare the numbers one through five. We began our week by playing Spin a Number where we used spinners to identify and build quantities 1-3. Then, we enjoyed Roll and Record where we would roll a dice and write the number that we got. Next, we would record that number in our graph and race to see which number made it to the top first. This game gave us the opportunity to practice counting and writing our numbers one to five. After that, we participated in a game called Face Off. In this game, we rolled a dice and found the number that we got on our mat. Then, we had to place that counter on the correct number in our line of numbers. Whoever was able to place all of their counters in the correct spot first was the winner. Finally, we learned about the different combinations of numbers that can add up to a larger number, while playing Toss the Chips. We discovered that 2+3=5 and 4+1=5. Please ask us about these games at home, while you enjoy looking at our pictures and videos from our fun week together!

Fabulous Five Senses

This week we have been enjoying exploring our five senses. We learned an exciting song about our five senses and then created a feeling hand to explore textures. We also were amazed when observing a hot air popcorn popper, which we used to pop popcorn while discussing what our five senses were experiencing. We thought this was a really cool invention! Ask your child to sing our five senses song for you this weekend. It really is fun!
