Week of April 22-25, 2013

Theme: Earth Day & Everything Changes

Letter of the Week: Y

Show and Share: Something that starts with letter Y

Last week we explored how things grow. We measured ourselves and found out how much we have grown since the beginning of the school year. We colored couscous and used it in the middle of our toilet tube print flowers. We worked on ordering objects by size and counting the objects and finding the number that goes with the set. We also used our detective eyes to find the picture that was different in a given set. 

This week we will be talking about how everything changes and Earth Day. We will be sorting recyclable materials. We will also be making a picture of our Earth. We will be learning about caterpillars and butterflies and the transformation they go through. We are going to make two different types of caterpillars one for the a.m. and one for the p.m. We will also be reading the books "Love the Earth, " and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." We are going to make a paper bag story to retell the story of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." We are going to use some recyclable materials to make a bird feeder that you can hang outside at your house.

Due to a scheduled district wide literacy assessment inservice  that will be held on May 23rd we will need to change the date for our end of the year party. The end of the year party will now be held on May 22nd, the a.m. class party will be 10:15-11:00 and the p.m. class party will be 1:30-2:15.
