Alike and Different

It's September! We started off the month this week by learning about things that are alike and different. Tuesday we started off by reading It's Okay to be Different by Todd Parr. This book teaches children that its ok to be themselves! The next day we read the book From Head to Toe by Eric Carle. We discussed how we all have a head, eyes, ears, nose, arms, legs, etc which makes us alike. We then talked about how even though we all have eyes, they are not all the same. We all have different eye colors! 

We had a variety of eye colors in our class! 

The students also had a chance this week to play with sand and rice during center time! I buried a variety of objects in the sand bucket and rice bucket for the students to find. They had to find the objects and then pair the ones that were alike. 

They really enjoyed this!
