Theme: St. Patrick's Day & Rainbows
Letter of the Week: M
Last week we learned quite a bit about dinosaurs. We learned about what fossils are and we made some in the classroom. We went on a dinosaur dig in the sensory table and uncovered dinosaurs bones. We created colorful dinosaurs which are being proudly displayed in the classroom. We counted dinosaurs and matched the correct number to them.
Next week we are going to take a week long break from dinosaurs to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Next week we will create a St. Patrick's day shamrock from a sticky, glittery substance. We will also experiment with colors and make some colorful noodles that we will use to make a rainbow. We will be matching letters and using our fine motor skills to pick up coins and place them in a shamrock box.
On Tuesday the morning class will get the opportunity to attend a musical concert put on by the 2nd grade classes.
On Wednesday we will celebrate green by having a Green Feast. Please bring in a green snack to share with the class. Some snack ideas include: green grapes, cucumbers, green jello, cookies, Apple Jacks cereal, etc.
On Thursday we will be going on a Leprechaun hunt so please wear green to school. If you don't have something green to wear at home don't worry we have shamrocks at school your child can wear. We are going to set a trap to catch that tricky leprechaun while we go on an adventure around the school to try and find him. Hopefully we will have caught him when we get back or I think there may be some mischief in our classroom.
Show and Share this week is something that starts with the letter M.
Happy Birthday to Lauren Havranek!
