** Learning About Opposites **
==== Our unit of opposites will be introduced and reinforced over the next couple of weeks. Some of our learning of opposites in the classroom will include, discussing opposites found in the classroom, reading storybooks, singing songs, and designing art that focuses on different opposites. In addition, during small group sessions, the children will view a teacher made video about opposites in the world around them. ====

** Learning Video – Opposites **
==== This is the learning video we watched in our small group sessions. Please review the video with your child. Have your child find opposites in your environment and discuss the different opposites for review. ====

** Additional Learning Video – Children’s Opposites **
==== Here is another video to further emphasize the importance of learning opposites. Enjoy! ====

Magazines, scissors, glue, stapler, markers, hole punch, yarn
==== Look through pictures in a magazine and find pictures of objects that correlate with word opposites (ex. teeth-“hard”/ feather-“soft”). Some common opposites are big/small, tall/ short, in/out, on/off, and up/down. Have your child cut out the pictures of opposites and glue them to pieces of construction paper. Help your child label the opposites under each picture. Staple or tie the pages together to form their book on opposites. ====
