CLASS UPDATES
- 3 Day 3’s – We thank everyone for coming in for the Parent/Teacher Conferences. We began our special” Famous Artist’s Unit”. We introduced the unit by Reading “Art” by Patrick McDonnel. Each child created a piece of art with many different colors of crayons. The first artist we discussed was Leonardo DaVinci. We read “Katie and the Mona Lisa” by James Mayhew. The children drew a portrait of each other with crayons and we played Colors and Shapes Bingo!
- 4 Day 3’s – March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, we hope!!! This week we read “In Like a Lion Out Like a Lamb” and made a lion/lamb craft. Mo Williams is the author we have been talking about this week. We read all three “Knuffle Bunny” books, Pigeon books and The Gerald and Piggy series. We finished our Knuffle Bunny craft and talked about St. Patrick’s Day. Please have your child wear green on Monday!!!
- 5 Day 4’s – We had a busy week filled with our Dr. Seuss corner!!! Including art work, reading books, telling Dr. Seuss stories & most importantly, wearing the Cat in The Hat’s –HAT! We learned that when playing board games you need to wait for your turn, share and how to make a move on the board. We started our senses unit by making a touch chart, smell tests, taste tests, sight & sound tests and lots of exploring making scientific guesses & giggling. We sang shamrock songs and made shamrock shakers. Happy St. Patty’s Day.
- Extended Day 4′s – Our 100th Day celebration was lots of fun! The children loved counting to 10 and doing 100 push ups!! This week we focused on the globe for letter “G”. We discussed volcanoes, mountains, the weather and all four seasons! The projects that followed our lessons included cutting & painting , which the children enjoyed a lot! Their favorite project involved using their imagination and creating two of their own “weather days”. Ask them about their drawing!! Our G turned into a tank filled with “Goldfish” We can’t wait for you all to see. Next week we will be learning about St. Patrick’s Day.
