WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS
Our field trip on Friday was the biggest highlight this week. We are used our senses to explore the changing seasons. More on our trip in next week’s field trip Although officially in spring, our newly fallen snow has reminded us that Mother Nature likes to keep us guessing. We enjoyed a late in the year snow day on Tuesday and have been enjoying playing in the snow and making snow angels, snow men, and great big snow balls at recess!
ELA Phonics: We continue to work with our magnetic letter boards to make words. First we clap the number of syllables, then tap the sounds, then make the word. By changing the first letter sound we can make rhyming words and use them in a sentence. Some words are real words and some are imaginary. We have discovered that Dr. Seuss likes to use imaginary words in his books.
Math: We continue to graph the Lion and Lamb days. So far, we have had many more lion days than lamb. We sure hope March goes out like a lamb!
Social Studies: We presented our Family Tree projects to our class. It was a delight to see the joy on their faces as they shared their family trees with their friends.
Share: This week the children shared items with the sound /m/. Here is a sampling: Iron Man, Metal Head, Money, Mask, Monster Tracker. Next week share sound will be /v/.
Science/Math/ELA: As I mentioned we will be learning to use our senses not only on our field trip but also to learn about our environment and the world around us.
Earlier in the month we made predictions about the weather in March. We are charting, graphing and recording the weather patterns as either a “Lion” day or a “Lamb” day. In science we have been focusing upon the weather and the changing nature of the seasons. We continue to compare qualities of a lion and lamb to the weather we experience in March. What fun!
Warming Time: We need about 3 to 4 more mugs. Please send in a mug your child can use to have tea. We will keep it in their cubby. I am looking forward to tea time!
