Lemmon Tree Academy

A holly, jolly December in LTA! We started the month with a visit from our Frankie Friends and Bogie the dog. In math we finished up our unit on shapes and sorting. In reading, we read about the gift of giving and identified key details on how we can give to others (smile, elbow bump, donating, cards, etc). We also practiced sounding out CVC words and identifying rhyming words. In social studies we learned about holidays around the world and various holiday traditions. Our pretend play center had different holiday traditions for students to practice (tree decorating, cookie baking, sending cards, etc). In writing students wrote about a holiday tradition they do and a way that they want to give to others. Students practiced identifying that our sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a period. We ended December together with pajama day and a movie - so fun! We are wishing everyone a happy holidays and joyous new year! See you all on January 3rd!

 November in LTA In the month of November, we learned about how people did things in the past and how people do things in the present. In our housekeeping center, students practiced washing clothes in a washing machine like we see today, cooking food in an oven, and getting water from our pretend sink. In our rotating pretend play, students practiced getting water from the river, washing clothes in a wash bin and hanging them to dry, and cooking food over a fire. Our stories we read focused on the past and present. We practiced identifying events and details throughout stories, finding various text features, and differentiating between words and pictures. In math, we did all things shapes. Students' main focus was sorting shapes of the same size and color into groups. In social studies, we learned about goods, services, supply, and demand. Our specials this month have been a blast. We had so much fun visiting our Frankie Friends at Ravenscroft and can't wait to visit them again...
