Last week we learned about insects. We know that all insects have six legs and they crawl or fly. We read several different stories including "The Very Lonely Firefly," "The Very Grouchy Ladybug," and "The Very Quiet Cricket." We made bug fingerprints in a garden scene, played an an letter sound matching game and played a firefly counting game. This week all of the children were introduced to the newest curriculum materials in our classroom: Tag Readers. All the children were taught how to use the equipment, how to use the Tag Reader to read a book and how to put the materials away when they are finished. The Tag Readers are part of our literacy program.

This week we will begin celebrating ice cream. We will spell ice cream flavors with letter tiles and dry erase markers. We will also do a variety of counting activities. We will also do some sorting of our favorite flavors of ice cream (chocolate or vanilla) which will lead to tasting our favorite flavors of ice cream. We will make a sticky, puffy ice cream craft.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day! Next week is our transition conference week for those student's who are currently on IEP's and are going to kindergarten next school year. Parents who are attending these conferences, which would be parents in the p.m. class whose children are currently on IEP's and will be going to kindergarten next school year, please check you invitation for the time of your IEP conference and we will see you then.
