Week of February 17-19, 2015

Theme: Animals at Home

Focus Question: Where do animals live and what do they eat?

Letter of the Week: B

Dear Families,

This week we will be talking about different places animals live. We are going to be reading the book "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" There are several other books that are similar to this book including "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and "Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? We will be discussing the animals in the book and where they live. We will be making a polar bear mask and using props to retell the story. We will continue to practice patterning both individually and in groups. 

Our big box has been transformed several times now from a vet clinic, to a Valentine's day house and this week we will be transforming it into an igloo where arctic animals live. We will watch a short video about polar bears and penguins and how they survive in the cold.

We will be making our own book based on the Polar Bear, Polar Bear book. Each child will have their own page and they will get to choose what they hear and how it sounds, they are only limited by their creativity. 

Upcoming Dates:

For those students who will be going to kindergarten next school year please look for a letter coming home this week telling you what you need to do for kindergarten registration. Please remember that your children are already registered students in the district and therefore only need to sign up for a screening time at their home school.
