This week we learned all about the things that make us special! From physical characteristics to talents we possess, everything about us makes us special.
We started by listing things we can do that make us special!
Next, we talked about the two big groups in our classroom, boys and girls. We then made self portraits and charted our classmates to compare the number of boys and girls!
Then we looked at our names! Each of our friends has their own special name but they can share similar characteristics such as same beginning letter and total number of letters.
After charting all of our names we grouped ourselves by total number of letters in our names!
Cade, Ella, and Ryan have 4 letters in their names.
Lilly, Josie, and Jacob have 5 letters in their names.
Andrew, Gaston, Parker, Collin, and Olivia have 6 letters in their names.
Braxton, Charlie, and Jessica have 7 letters in their names.
Samantha has 8 letters in her name.
Charlotte has 9 letters in her name.
We also talked about our birthdays and all of the fun things we do to celebrate. After graphing all of our birthdays we discovered that 2 of our friends have the same birthday, Parker and Ella, but they celebrate in different ways and that makes them special!
We also talked about our hair and how the color makes us special!
We have one friend with black hair.
We have six friends with brown hair.
We have nine friends with blonde hair.
Another thing that makes us special is how tall we are! Although we are all 4 and 5 years old we all grow at different rates. We found out that Lilly is our shortest friend and Olivia is our tallest. Even though they are not the same height, they are best buddies!
Another thing that makes us special are our eyes!
We have one friend with green eyes.
We have four friends with brown eyes.
We have eleven friends with blue eyes.
Look at all of those sweet, blue eyed beauties!
After charting our eye color and grouping together for pictures we played a game on the Smart Board...can you find your eyes!?
We ended the week by talking about the one characteristic we possess that no one else in the entire world has, our fingerprints! By God's design our fingerprints are unique and that makes us SPECIAL!
